SRAM Red eTap HydroHC wireless/hydraulic group announced

Seven months after BikeRadar spotted hydraulic prototypes of SRAM’s wireless electronic group, SRAM today announced that its forthcoming Red eTap HydroHC group will be available this October.

The HydroHC is the evolution of SRAM’s HydroR (for hydraulic road). New to this group is the addition of contact point adjustment — the absence of which was a complaint of BikeRadar’s for existing hydraulic road brakes from both SRAM and Shimano. This allows users to set where in the lever stroke the pistons contact the rotors, similar to how riders with rim brakes can set the contact point with a barrel adjuster.

The HydroHC brakes also have reach adjust, as current HydroR mechanical-shift levers do.
