FORCE® ETap AXS™ Rear Derailleur

The FORCE® eTap AXS™ rear derailleur is the masterpiece of your AXS™ groupset. Without this interactive piece of engineering art there’s… no way forward!
This is where everything comes together. It is through the rear derailleur that all components of the AXS™ system can communicate with each other. Yet, it is not only responsible for the interaction between the single AXS™ components, but it also communicates with the SRAM AXS™ app and many compatible bike computers via Bluetooth Smart and ANT+.

For this both the rear derailleur with the shorter cage (max 33 T) as well as the middle cage (max 36 T) are suitable for single and double drive units. Only the maximum sprocket size of the 12-speed cassette differs. The long list of high-end technologies ensuring a quiet and high-performance road bike drivetrain are, of course, identical.

A particular highlight is the SRAM Orbit™ technology – a rear derailleur movement control mechanism that uses a special silicone fluid as part of the damping system. Compared to standard roller bearing clutch mechanisms, this technology creates no additional resistance at the spring of the rear derailleur. This allows for smoother and faster shifting. Besides, the fluid damper reliably maintains chain tension while riding for maximum chain control even in rough terrain.
