The electronic SRAM Force AXS front derailleur
The SRAM Force eTap AXS™ front derailleur is AXS™ enabled for easy personalization. The newly designed derailleur offers increased tire clearance – for those who explore every road – and works perfectly with all chainring combinations. No compromises, no more missed shifts.
Technologies used
In this chapter, we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses in this product.
AXS
AXS is SRAM's new integrated platform for connecting electronic bicycle components to software. The SRAM AXS app allows riders not only to monitor battery level, influence shifting behavior, and configure controls to their personal preferences, but also to create maintenance schedules and update firmware.
X-Range
Road bikes are faster and more powerful than ever before, and riders are constantly demonstrating what bikes with drop handlebars are capable of. X-Range is the gearing for the modern way of riding a road bike. SRAM has completely redesigned road bike gearing for a wider gear range, smoother and more usable gear steps, and, thanks to AXS, smarter shift settings. With X-Range, you're always in the right gear.
Yaw
Yaw technology enables trim-free shifting because the derailleur cage describes an arc and thus maintains a constant angle to the chain. This results in more direct and precise shifting, providing unparalleled front derailleur shifting performance.
eTap
Wireless shifting, battery energy management, and mechatronics – SRAM's RED eTAP technology serves one purpose: to offer you the most intuitive operation possible. We call the underlying shifting logic eTAP. The right lever shifts to a higher gear, the left to a lower gear. You can control the chainrings using either lever. Simple, smooth, and intuitive.
