SRAM RED Shifter Titanium Bolt Kit What It Replaces How Much Lighte

The SRAM RED shifter is the component your hands touch the most — every shift, every brake pull, every ride. It is also one of the few places on a RED AXS build where steel bolts are still standard. The TiNE SRAM RED shifter titanium bolt kit swaps every steel fastener inside both left and right shifters for Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V hardware, dropping weight without changing how anything feels under your fingers.

What the Kit Covers

This is a dedicated shifter kit — both left and right levers, all positions. It is separate from the full SRAM RED AXS bolt kit (which also covers brakes, derailleur, and crank), so you can run it on its own or combine it with the larger kit for a complete build.

The kit replaces the steel bolts that hold each shifter body together and secure internal components. Every fastener in both shifters is accounted for.

The Weight Difference

Hardware	Weight
Stock SRAM RED (both shifters)	23.8 g
TiNE titanium (both shifters)	11.4 g
Savings	12.4 g

Twelve grams out of the shifters alone. That is more than most riders save swapping bar tape, and it comes from the one component you grip every second of every ride. The weight comes off the handlebar zone — exactly where gram-counting riders want it gone.

Tip: Pair this shifter kit with the TiNE titanium shifter clamp rings (9.6 g vs 32.4 g stock) and the full SRAM RED AXS bolt kit for the maximum reduction — over 70 g removed from the groupset alone.

Material and Finish

Every bolt is CNC machined from Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V titanium — the same alloy used in aerospace fasteners and high-end bicycle frame dropouts. It is corrosion-proof, fatigue-resistant, and strong enough for every position the kit touches.

Eight anodized color options are available: gold, blue, rainbow, silver, black, pink, green, and multi-color. Installation uses standard hex keys with no special tools required.

Why Start With the Shifters

The shifters sit at the top of the handlebar — the highest point on the bike aside from the saddle. Weight here is rotational mass every time you climb out of the saddle or sprint. It is also weight you carry in your hands on long rides. Removing 12.4 g from this zone is a small change that adds up over thousands of shifts and hundreds of kilometers.

For SRAM RED riders who have already addressed wheels, saddle, and bar tape, the shifter bolts are one of the last accessible weight savings — and one of the easiest to install.
