Sleep Mode
- The AXS system will go into sleep mode after about 30 seconds of non-movement and won’t shift while sleeping. This conserves battery life.
- The system wakes up when you move your bike, or turn the crankset one revolution, or press a shift paddle or AXS button.
Whats the difference between eTap and eTap AXS?
Force eTap AXS, then, is identical in features and functions to Red eTap AXS, but cheaper and a bit heavier thanks to different materials. The only exception is that there’s no 50/37 chainset for Force, just a choice of 48/35 and 46/33. However, when we say ‘cheaper’, ‘a bit less expensive’ would be more accurate.
