Wireless shifting eliminates the cable housing runs that collect grit and degrade performance over months of gravel riding. The Force eTap AXS D2 lever pairs SRAM's second-generation wireless shifting with flat mount hydraulic disc brakes in a single integrated unit, handling both shift actuation and brake modulation without mechanical cables connecting lever to frame.

The D2 designation indicates SRAM's second-generation AXS internals with improved shift response and battery efficiency over the original eTap AXS release. Force sits in the middle of SRAM's road and gravel hierarchy, sharing the same wireless protocol and shift logic as Red while using slightly heavier materials. The lever shape uses SRAM's updated hood geometry with a narrower profile at the tops and more pronounced grip surfaces on the drops, which matters when you're hours into a ride and rotating through hand positions.

Hydraulic actuation drives DOT fluid through the housing to the included flat mount caliper. Flat mount is the current disc brake standard for road and gravel frames, with the caliper bolting directly to threaded inserts in the frame or fork rather than using an adapter. The caliper accepts rotors from 140mm to 160mm depending on your frame's clearance and braking demands. Reach adjust lets you position the lever blade closer to the bar for smaller hands or when wearing thicker gloves.... Read More
