RED XPLR AXSEffortless Resilience. Effortless Precision.
We designed new SRAM RED XPLR AXS to be the ultimate gravel drivetrain: resilient, precise, light and fast.
Full Mount Resilience.
Attaching to frames with the UDH interface, the Full Mount RED XPLR AXS rear derailleur eliminates variables by centering on the rear axle for a precise fit and superior impact resistance. It’s simpler, stronger, with no need for a hanger.
Full Mount Precision.
Fast, precise shifting with simple setup. The Full Mount derailleur removes hanger variances, so RED XPLR AXS brings perfect shifting with no adjustment screws.
The gravel gearing sweet spot, perfected.
Range for any course, without searching for the right gear. RED XPLR AXS covers a huge 10-46 range with 13 speeds so finding the right cadence is effortless.
Effortless braking
One-finger braking from anywhere, with less effort. RED brakes require 80% less effort than before when braking from the hoods, and 33% less effort from the drops. More power and less hand fatigue means you’re in control on any surface.
Unrivaled chain management
The 1x-specific design of the RED XPLR AXS derailleur, coupled with the strongest clutch we’ve ever put into a gravel derailleur, keeps the chain where it needs to be. So you can push a little harder.
Our lightest gravel groupset
Not just more resilient and precise. At 2488 g, RED XPLR AXS is over 200 g lighter than the previous generation.
Keep the wheels turning
Magic Wheel isn’t actually magic, it just feels like it. The outer portion of the lower pulley is independent from the center, so it won’t jam from a stray stick.
Effortless to measure
The RED XPLR AXS power meter brings the +/- 1.5% accuracy you need with quick ring swaps thanks to the Thread Mount interface.
Rebuild. Replace. Repeat.
XPLR’s resilience is unmatched, but if you finally hit the deck too hard, don’t despair. Key parts of the XPLR rear derailleur are replaceable to get you back on your feet.
Prepare. Hang. Tighten.
Just three simple steps with no special tools. Setup for the RED XPLR AXS rear derailleur takes only a few minutes, with no adjustment screws.
Intuitive, instant, and always wireless
Fewer buttons, less to think about. With eTap shift logic, simply press the right button to go harder, the left to go easier. Hit both to shift the front derailleur.
Effortless setup with Hammerhead Karoo
Instant setup without pairing. Control configuration without pulling out your phone.
Shift or swipe without lifting a finger
With the Bonus Button, you can shift from a second location or control an ANT+ head unit. Your choice.
Personalize with AXS
Customize your shifting, analyze your gear usage, and confirm your bike's readiness, all with AXS connectivity.
