The SRAM Red Double Tap levers illustrate that the shift levers are one of a rider's most important contact points on the bike. Since you'll be spending a lot of time on these levers, the ergonomics have been thoughtfully thought out. First of all, the hoods are slightly narrower than the previous generation and eliminate hard edges for a smooth feel, under your hands. Ergofit brake hoods add extra texture providing better control, and a better transition between positions, on the bar. A handy reach adjustment allows you to customize your cockpit and longer lever blades improve shifting while in the drops.
