SRAM AXS: the future of wireless shifting is already on your bike

Jan 20, 2026

When SRAM launched RED eTap in 2015, it revolutionized cycling with a clear idea: eliminate cables and make shifting completely wireless. Today, that vision evolves and expands with AXS, SRAM's component integration ecosystem that connects hardware, software, and riding experience into a single platform.

AXS is not just an electronic groupset. It's a new way of understanding how you interact with your bike.


What is SRAM AXS?

AXS is SRAM's bike component integration system that connects electronic components and software. All AXS-compatible components "speak the same language," allowing them to be combined, even mixing road and mountain, to create the bike that truly fits you.

And while many cyclists ride to disconnect from technology, AXS demonstrates that well-applied technology can make you simply forget about it and enjoy the ride more.


Total CONTROL from your bike (and your phone)

With AXS, you can connect your components to the SRAM AXS mobile app and fully customize the actions of your controls:

  • Assign specific functions to each button

  • Adjust shifting behavior

  • Control other compatible wireless components

The best part is that you're not obligated to use the app all the time: many functions can be configured directly from the components themselves.


Limitless CUSTOMIZATION

Wireless controls open up a new world of possibilities. With AXS, you can:

  • Activate optimized shifting modes

  • Reassign shifting actions according to your riding style

  • Adapt the system for training, competitions, or recreational rides

Do you want the right lever to shift down instead of up? Or control a wireless dropper post from the levers? With AXS, it's totally possible.


SMART SHIFTING MODES

🔹 Sequential shifting

This mode automatically activates the next available gear using the up or down buttons. The system manages the front derailleur to maintain a constant cadence, although you can always intervene manually if you wish.

🔹 Shift compensation

When you perform a front shift, the rear derailleur automatically compensates by moving one or two cogs (you decide how many), achieving a smooth and natural transition without abrupt cadence jumps.


MEASURE, ANALYZE and IMPROVE

AXS not only changes how you ride your bike, but also how you understand it.

With the mobile app and the AXS web platform, you can:

  • Check the battery level of all components (including CR2032 batteries)

  • Keep the firmware updated

  • Analyze gear usage data

  • Review power zones and tire pressure

All this information helps you make quick and precise decisions to optimize your bike and your performance.


Technology that simplifies, not complicates

SRAM's approach has always been clear: simplify the complex. That's why, although AXS offers a huge number of options, it only includes functions that truly add value to the cyclist.

It's not about adding technology for the sake of it. It's about eliminating distractions.

Whether you are a technophile or a technophobe, AXS has one goal: to make you forget about the bike parts and simply enjoy the ride.
