Everything received the same detail, including the transition between handlebar & hoods, the grip texture, finger wrap, & the separate interfaces with both the shifter & brake lever. The understated black finish makes it look fast & a perfect match for any machine. Double Tap What It Is: Double Tap&174; is the flagship technology leading SRAM’s road gruppo revolution. It’s a simple yet elegant & advanced system that addresses issues
- Without compromising on performance, comfort, & weight
- with a revolutionary shift/brake lever design. What It Does: Double Tap&174; makes changing gears easier & faster, eliminating the cumbersome & awkward engagement associated with two-lever systems. Double Tap handles up- & downshifts in one short, sweeping motion, with minimal effort & maximum comfort no matter where you are on the bars. How It Works: Double Tap&174; uses two pawls, one for holding the ratchet wheel, & one for transporting it up & down through the gear change. The pawls are arranged in a way so that they can leapfrog each other depending on how far, & with how much pressure, you push the shift lever. With short, rapid taps the transport pawl (04) moves the ratchet wheel (02) up through the shifting range. Downshifting comes via a longer sweep of the lever (in the same inward direction you upshift, but to an ergonomically maximized 15&176; angle) with the holding pawl (03) & the transport pawl leapfrogging each other quickly & smoothly. Location, Location, Location: Double Tap’s one-motion unidirectional levers (05) work flawlessly no matter what position you’re shifting from. Its double-articulated design (01), which is completely separate from the brake pivot, is easily engaged from the hoods or the drops. Unlike all other forward controls, Double Tap&174; also lets you pull the shift lever in against the bars so you can upshift while sprinting or attacking without giving up a firm grip. Divide & Conquer: On Double Tap&174; controls, the brake & shift levers are completely independent, each operating with their own pivot points. This not only allows for the multiposition functionality, it also eliminates the risk of engaging brakes or shifters unintentionally
- an unfortunate side effect of other shift/brake lever designs. What It Means To You: The efficient & ergonomic design reduces weight & eliminates bulk while adding comfort. You can shift from any position on the bars, even while sprinting, giving you a critical advantage over your competition, & our new single-lever mechanism also lets you shift faster, easier, & with more accuracy, without risk of scrubbing speed or losing your grip. Double Tap&174; is the cornerstone of SRAM’s assault on road biking. It’s a new way of shifting
- & a new way of thinking
- that will put you ahead of the competition, no matter where you find it. Zero Loss™ Zero Loss simply means, well, zero loss—when you push on the lever, for an upshift or down shift, the cable is engaged instantly—zero loss of movement. There is no middle-ground where youre waiting for the shift to come. Gear changes are instant & precise. Ergo Dynamics™ It consists of three separate elements to significantly improve your riding experience on SRAM Double Tap controls. The brake lever is slightly longer than previous Double Tap road controls to enhance the reach from the drops. The independent reach adjust features on the brake & shift levers are easier to access to quickly adjust for every hand size. Finally, the shape of the hoods has been completely redesigned with a smaller diameter & higher top shape to increase the rider’s control & improve finger wrap.

The Yaw™ rotating front derailleur cage was just one more elegant solution to a problem that plagued drivetrains for decades. Instead of multiple shifts using trim, with confusing microshifts, the SRAM Force 22 Yaw™ Front Derailleur actually rotates to maintain a consistent angular relationship with the chain. As a result, shifts feel more direct, more precise, system that works as one with the chain, cransket & chainrings. ...

SRAM Force 22 GXP Compact Chainset: The new Force 22 crankset delivers an upgrade in performance by utilizing unidirectional carbon in the crank arm matched to a forged alloy spider & the hidden bolt pattern makes better use of carbon fiber to further improve stiffness & shed weight. The stunning X Glide R chainrings are optimized for use with the YAW Technology in the front derailleur, delivering seamless, flawless performance. X-Glide R Chainrings The chainrings are designed for an optimized shifting performance with the Yaw front derailleur. The stiffer rings (5mm 7075-T6 aluminum CNC-machined) feature upshift rivets with an advanced design adopted from SRAM XX. CNC machining allows for precision control of each tooth shape, ramp, & nearly every shifting feature of the chainring. Chainrings, chain, & front derailleur are designed as a single integrated system for optimized performance. Hidden bolt pattern leverages the characteristics of carbon fiber while presenting a sleek appearance. Stiffer X G lide R chainrings feature thicker construction, advanced shift timing pins & ramps, which are optimized for shifting with the Yaw Front Derailleur. Arm
