SRAM's Red® eTap shifting system is an electronic, wireless wonder in the world of wired electronic systems. Powered by small rechargeable batteries located on the front and rear derailleurs, and controlled via the proprietary SRAM AIREA™ encrypted wireless protocol, the eTap system shifts quickly, with smooth efficiency. This braze-on type SRAM Red eTap Front Derailleur makes a good thing better by executing front shifts confidently and quickly at the push of a button. The design of the front derailleur optimizes automatic Yaw™ technology eliminates the need for shifter trim adjustments as needed throughout the shift range with no need for rider input.

Red eTap is easy to install and set-up- no wires or routing to deal with. Pairing with shifters takes but seconds. Each pairing set-up has a unique 128 bit encryption, so you won't get cross-talk with other bikes. The braze-on front derailleur itself bolts on as any would, then just needs to be set for limits and paired to the shifters. Technically, it’s easy to set up, clean in appearance and delightfully uncomplicated. The design is highly efficient, and it's proprietary electronic advancements to deliver instant, impeccable shifting performance. The front derailleur cage rotates to maintain a consistent angular relationship with the chain. Yaw technology eliminates the need for shifter trim with a double chainring set-up, no matter what the cassette range is. As a result, all shifts feel more direct, more precise, and combined with the the stout Red carbon crankset and machined aluminum chainrings, delivers an unmatched performance advantage in front shifting

SRAM applies their Exact Actuation™ system, effectively duplicating the 1:1 ratio electronically, but more efficiently. Along with the Red 22 Chain, the derailleur works flawlessly with SRAM's X-GlideR™ chainrings, which feature thicker construction and advanced shift timing pins and ramps, and are optimized for shifting with the Yaw-equipped front derailleur. The compact, removable battery delivers up to 620 miles (1000 km) of riding per charge, and the front and rear derailleur batteries are interchangeable. You do need to have eTap charger to charge the battery. Everything about Red eTap speaks to efficiency and performance and this SRAM Red eTap Front Derailleur Braze-on delivers.
