Product Details

Overview & Technology

SRAM Force eTap AXS Hydraulic Shift/Brake Lever (Part #11.7018.078.002, SKU 230870) is an exchange shifter and brake lever assembly engineered for SRAM's AXS wireless electronic ecosystem. This kit includes the lever body and hood only — it does not include hydraulic hose, fittings or caliper. The unit is identified by SRAM Model ID: ED-SPP-A0. The lever combines SRAM’s AXS wireless paddle technology with a hydraulic brake master cylinder for predictable road braking feel. Construction uses durable composite and metal internals to balance stiffness, weight and lever ergonomics for long rides and fast descents. Designed as a direct replacement/exchange component, it preserves the tactile AXS shift feel while delivering hydraulic braking power when paired with a compatible SRAM hydraulic caliper and hose kit.

Key Features & Construction

Purpose-built materials: The assembly uses reinforced composite hoods and precision-machined alloy lever internals to reduce flex under load while keeping weight low. Seals and piston surfaces in the master cylinder are engineered for consistent modulation and long service life. Practical benefits: Expect crisp, wireless shifting with the AXS paddle interface and linear hydraulic braking modulation when the lever is installed with the appropriate hose and caliper. The exchange kit format makes it ideal for service centers or riders replacing damaged levers without changing the rest of their cockpit.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation Notes

The Force eTap AXS lever is compatible with SRAM AXS electronic drivetrains and is available in left- and right-hand variants. It is an exchange kit only — hydraulic hose, olive, barb and caliper must be purchased separately and fitted. Verify compatibility with your bike’s cabling route and frame hose length before ordering. Shipping dimensions: 8" x 7" x 2.1" and weight: 0.7 lb. During installation you’ll need the correct SRAM hydraulic hose kit and bleed kit; a full bleed and inspection is recommended after installation to ensure reliable brake performance. The lever pairs to an AXS module/controller for shift customization through the AXS app.

Who This Is For

This lever is aimed at performance-minded road cyclists and mechanics who need a replacement or upgrade lever that keeps AXS electronic shifting while switching to hydraulic braking. It's ideal for riders who want reliable modulation on long descents and an OEM-level fit without replacing the entire cockpit. If you’re converting from mechanical or rim brakes, or replacing a damaged lever after a crash, this exchange kit provides the lever and hood assembly needed to restore AXS functionality — just add a compatible SRAM hydraulic hose and caliper to complete the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this kit include the brake hose and caliper?

No. This is an exchange shifter/brake lever kit — the hood and lever body are included, but hydraulic hose, fittings (olive/barb) and caliper are sold separately and must be installed and bled to complete the brake system.

Is this compatible with all SRAM AXS groupsets?

Yes, the lever is designed to work with SRAM AXS electronic drivetrains and pairs wirelessly with the AXS ecosystem. Confirm left/right variant and intended 1x or 2x configuration during setup and use the AXS app for button mapping and firmware updates.

Can I use this lever with non‑SRAM calipers or hoses?

For guaranteed fit and performance, SRAM recommends using SRAM hydraulic hoses and calipers. While some riders adapt components from other manufacturers, compatibility, safety and warranty may be affected — consult your mechanic before mixing brands.

Will I need to bleed the brakes after installation?

Yes. Whenever a hydraulic lever or hose is replaced you must install and bleed the system to remove air and ensure correct lever feel and braking power. Use SRAM’s recommended bleed kit and follow the official procedure.

What tools are needed to install this lever?

You’ll typically need basic bike tools (hex keys, torque wrench), a hydraulic hose cutting tool, olive/barb installation tools, and a SRAM-compatible bleed kit. If you’re not experienced with hydraulic systems, have a pro mechanic perform the installation.

Is the hood material durable for long-term use?

Yes. The hood is made from reinforced composite designed to resist abrasion and sweat while offering comfortable ergonomics for long rides. Regular cleaning and inspection will keep the hood in good condition.

Buying Guide

When buying a road hydraulic AXS lever exchange kit, confirm you’re ordering the correct left or right variant and that your frame/fork routing supports hydraulic hoses. This kit replaces the lever/hood assembly only — you’ll need a compatible SRAM hydraulic hose, fittings and caliper to complete the braking system. Factor in installation: hydraulic systems require cutting hoses to length, installing olives/barbs, and performing a full bleed. If you’re not comfortable with hydraulic maintenance, budget for professional installation. Also check AXS firmware compatibility and update the lever through the AXS app once installed.
