If the hoods on your original SRAM Red eTap HRD levers have gotten sticky, torn at the base, or started peeling back from years of sweat and UV, these are the factory replacements. The covers fit HRD (hydraulic road disc) brakes from the pre-AXS Red eTap generation — the first-generation wireless electronic group with hydraulic disc brake levers — and are sold in pairs so you can refresh both sides at once.

Hoods are the one contact point on the bike that takes constant abuse from every direction.

Most riders notice the change gradually — one day the hoods feel tacky and secure, six months later your hands are sliding around on climbs and you can see a tear forming where the hood meets the lever body.

The ergonomic profile matches the original contour of the lever, keeping the hand position and reach exactly where SRAM engineered it.
