SRAM AXS – Electric gears with wireless control and intelligence

Bicycle technology is evolving rapidly. But some innovations change the rules of the game – such is the case with SRAM AXS. If you are looking for wireless control, customization, and maximum precision in gear shifting – AXS is the solution.

What exactly is AXS?

AXS is SRAM’s electronic wireless platform that combines components from different series – road, mountain, gravel – and connects them through a single mobile app. The result: a smarter bike that works exactly how you want it to.

How is it different from traditional gears?

• No cables or housing – all communication between the shifter and derailleur is wireless
• Motor instead of cable – each gear shift is performed by a miniature electric motor, not by mechanical pulling
• Full customization – you decide what each shifter does via the SRAM AXS mobile app

What can you do with the AXS app?

• Reconfigure button functions (e.g., make the right shifter shift down instead of up)
• Monitor battery levels of all AXS components
• Receive updates (firmware updates)
• View ride history and component activity
• Make adjustments yourself without needing a service

How long do the batteries last?

• Derailleur: 20–60 hours of active riding
• Shifters: up to 2 years (with CR2032 battery)
• Charging is fast – about 1 hour to full charge
• Battery replacement takes a few seconds – you can always carry a spare with you

What if the battery dies?

If the battery runs out, the gear simply stops responding – it doesn’t shift on its own, but nothing breaks. You put in a new battery and continue. Quick, easy, and tool-free.

Who is AXS suitable for?

• Road cyclists who want fast and precise gear shifting
• Gravel adventurers looking for a clean look and silent operation
• Enduro and XC riders who don’t want cables and housing vulnerable to mud, water, and impacts
• Anyone who wants to take their bike to the next level

Conclusion

AXS is not just an electronic system – it’s a new feeling of control.
With less maintenance, wireless connectivity, smart integration, and excellent durability, SRAM AXS makes riding lighter, quieter, and more intuitive.

If you’re ready for more than mechanical shifting – AXS is the future. And it’s already here.
