How-to
How do I pair SRAM eTap AXS shift-brake levers or an eTap AXS BlipBox to eTap 11-speed
derailleurs?
SRAM RED and Force eTap AXS shift-brake levers or the eTap AXS BlipBox with firmware version 2.29.4 or
later can be paired with RED eTap 11-speed front and rear derailleurs using the RED eTap pairing process.
Rival eTap AXS shift-brake levers are not compatible with eTap 11-speed derailleurs due to differences in their
electronic hardware and do not support this firmware feature.
NOTE: SRAM RED eTap 11-speed front and rear derailleurs do not require a firmware update to pair with
firmware 2.29.4 compatible SRAM eTap AXS shift-brake levers and eTap AXS BlipBox.
Follow the instructions below to check the firmware version of your eTap AXS shift-brake levers or eTap AXS
BlipBox before completing the SRAM RED eTap pairing process.
