SRAM RED AXS Titanium Bolt Kit Weight: 77.7 g vs 139 g Stock 61.3 g Saved

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.

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.

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.

Material and Finish
