All new hood ergonomics are now available for the SRAM Force AXS E1 Shifters/Brakes. This system has stiffer calipers, one-finger braking from the hoods and drops, and Bonus Buttons, and texture to easily locate and actuate the buttons and controls. The improvements made resulted from over four years of rider feedback, giving an even wider range of riders the same level of comfort and control while also eliminating the possibility of finger pinch under hard braking. Less effort, less hand fatigue, a lighter feel and more comfortable, powerful braking.

These are great brake levers and shifters. The new design of the braking cylinder inside them makes it much easier to apply the brakes, with no decrease in modulation or control. They are also slightly longer and slimmer, which makes it easier for me to wrap my fingers all around them. Unless you wanted to save a few grams (and pay much more) by getting the RED model levers, these are the ones to get.
I replaced the original SRAM Red AXS (D1) shifters/brakes with these Force AXS (E1) latest generation shifters/brakes on my 2020 Canyon Endurace. One of the best upgrades I have ever done! The improved ergonomics of the hoods, one finger braking power with improved modulation, and bonus buttons all make for a huge improvement! It's like I have a new bike for a very reasonable upgrade price.
Love the new brake levers and ergonomics on the Force E1 shifters. Upgraded from D2 and am extremely happy. I did read that they're 15mm longer, but I didn't notice a negative impact to my bike fit. The extra buttons are helpful when trying to get into an aero position. I would definitely recommend the upgrade if you're on D1 or D2.
