SRAM RED AXS Titanium Bolt Kit Upgrade What It Covers How Much It Saves

SRAM RED AXS is already one of the lightest groupsets on the market. The shifting is wireless, the brake levers are sculpted, and the chainset uses a hollow carbon construction. So where is the remaining weight?

It is in the fasteners. Steel bolts hold your shifter clamps, brake calipers, derailleur pivots, and crank caps — and every one of them is heavier than it needs to be. The TiNE SRAM RED AXS titanium bolt kit targets exactly those positions, swapping Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V hardware into the places where stock steel still lives.

How Much Weight Comes Out

The complete TiNE kit weighs 77.7 g, replacing 139 g of stock SRAM RED hardware. That is a 61.3 g reduction — roughly the weight of a full carbon water bottle. For a groupset already praised for its low weight, removing another 61 grams from bolts alone is a meaningful step.

Unlike a saddle swap or wheel change, this weight comes out of the component you already ride every day. No new parts to break in, no ride feel to re-learn — just less steel where titanium does the same job at a fraction of the mass.

Where the Savings Live

The kit covers four subsystems across a SRAM RED AXS build:

Subsystem	Positions Replaced
Shifter clamp rings	Left + right lever clamp rings (titanium V-profile, CNC)
Brake calipers	Front + rear caliper mounting bolts
Derailleur	Rear derailleur pivot bolt
Crankset	SRAM DUB crank cap (drive + non-drive side)

The single biggest contributor is the shifter clamp ring pair: TiNE titanium rings weigh 9.6 g per pair versus 32.4 g for the stock SRAM RED set, saving 22.8 g on their own. That one position accounts for roughly a third of the total kit savings.

The front brake caliper mount is another clear win. The stock SRAM piece sits around 14 g; the TiNE titanium version drops to 7.5 g. Combined with the rear, the brake mounting hardware sheds weight that most riders never think to check.

Worth knowing: The shifter clamp ring is the largest single-piece weight saving in the entire TiNE catalog. If you only change one thing on your SRAM RED build, make it the clamp rings.

Material and Finish

Every bolt and ring in the kit is CNC machined from Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V — the same aerospace-grade titanium used in bicycle frame dropouts and derailleur cages. It is corrosion-resistant, fatigue-tolerant, and strong enough for every position the kit covers.

All pieces are anodized in eight colors: gold, blue, rainbow, silver, black, pink, green, and the full-spectrum multi-color. Installation uses standard hex keys and torque specs you already follow for SRAM components.

Who This Kit Is For

Any rider running SRAM RED AXS who has already addressed the usual suspects — wheels, saddle, bar tape — and is looking for the next place to drop weight without changing ride characteristics. The bolts you already trust to hold your groupset together simply get lighter. No compatibility concerns, no tools beyond what is in your workstand kit.
