SRAM RED eTap AXS is one of the lightest wireless groupsets on the market. But the steel fasteners holding it together still add up to 139 g. TiNE's Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V replacement bolt kit brings that total down to 77.7 g — a savings of 61.3 g. That is roughly the weight of a full water bottle cage.
The Biggest Single Swap: Shifter Clamp Rings
The SRAM RED shifter clamp rings are the heaviest individual piece in the entire kit. The stock pair weighs 32.4 g; TiNE's titanium V-clamp rings drop to 9.6 g per pair — a saving of 22.8 g from this one component alone. That is 37% of the total 61.3 g kit savings from a single swap.
| Component | TiNE | Stock | Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shifter clamp rings (pair) | 9.6 g | 32.4 g | 22.8 g |
| Front brake mount | 7.5 g | ~14 g | ~5.5 g |
| SRAM DUB crank cap | 10.5 g | 16.1 g | 5.6 g |
| Full kit total | 77.7 g | 139 g | 61.3 g |
The top three items alone — clamp rings, brake mount, and crank cap — account for roughly 34 g of the 61.3 g total. The remaining 27 g comes from derailleur pivot bolts, shifter hose bolts, caliper hose bolts, pulley bolts, and other smaller fasteners throughout the groupset.
SRAM RED vs Shimano: How Does 61.3 g Compare?
Shimano riders have a different bolt landscape. The Shimano titanium bolt kit (TiNE 69.9 g) covers the 105 R7170, Ultegra R8170, and Dura-Ace R9270 — but the savings vary by groupset because the stock weights differ.
| Groupset | TiNE | Stock | Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| SRAM RED eTap AXS | 77.7 g | 139 g | 61.3 g |
| Shimano 105 R7170 | 69.9 g | 179.3 g | 109.4 g |
| Shimano Ultegra R8170 | 69.9 g | 145.3 g | 75.4 g |
| Shimano Dura-Ace R9270 | 69.9 g | 117.7 g | 47.8 g |
SRAM RED's 61.3 g savings sits between Dura-Ace (47.8 g) and Ultegra (75.4 g). The difference is largely driven by the shifter clamp rings — Shimano's stock clamp rings are lighter than SRAM's, so the SRAM kit has more room to save.
