I wanna replace my Red Etap 11sp shifter hoods. New AXS stuff looks very similar in shape.
Can anyone confirm if hoods are compatible between new Force AXS and Red AXS models and old 11sp Red etap or not?

No. It's not. You have to replace complete gruppo.

I'm talking about rubber hoods, not shifters.

Good point. I switched from etap hrd to red axs, and shape is indeed similar, but not sure if compatible. I would suggest to follow the part number.

Hoods are compatible between red Etap 11d and red//force axs. Rival is not.

If nothing else you should be able to find some aftermarket hood covers for not too much online, also with some color options.

The question is rim or disc.

The rim brake hoods are compatible because the shifters are virtually the same. I bought "SRAM Force/Red AXS 12 Speed" hoods for my 11sp Red eTap and it fits perfectly.

Except Red and Force AXS shifters actually are backward compatible with 11spd eTap derailleurs.

You are right. https://cyclingtips.com/2021/11/sram-in ... tap-users/

That's pretty kind from Sram.
The price of 11 speed hoods was sometimes higher than 12 speed axs hoods. :D

Disc. Somehow I didnt mention that.


There are plenty of rim specific hoods online
