The standard shift paddles on eTap hoods work fine for most hand positions, but they're not always where you want them. SRAM's Blip shift buttons give you wireless shifting from additional locations on the handlebar—drops, extensions, sprint shifters, wherever you can route the cable. Each Blip connects to a BlipBox mounted inside the handlebar, which communicates wirelessly with your derailleurs. The buttons themselves are small, low-profile, and unobtrusive enough to place where your hands naturally land.

Installation requires a BlipBox (sold separately) that accepts up to four Blips total. You'll run the Blip cables inside your handlebar to the BlipBox, then pair the system through SRAM's AXS app. The app lets you assign each Blip to upshift, downshift, or sequential shifting depending on your preference. Want both Blips in the drops to shift the same direction? Done. Prefer mirror-image shifting like the main hoods? Also done. The flexibility is the point.

SRAM offers Blips in four cable lengths to accommodate different handlebar routing scenarios. The 150mm length works for tight installations near the BlipBox. The 230mm handles most drop bar positions. The 450mm reaches time trial extensions or remote sprint shifter locations. The 650mm covers the longest runs or unconventional setups. You're buying a pair of Blips at your chosen length—most installations use two pairs (one length for drops, potentially another for extensions).... Read More
