Race on road. Race on gravel. Wherever you find yourself on a given day, the ECHO’s adaptability means your only limits are your imagination – especially when paired with SRAM’s latest Red AXS. The new Red shifts faster and tighter, brakes with more caliper force but requires 60-80% less lever force, and drops 150g across the entire group. The redesigned levers shift the piston from the pommel back into the hood body, providing a sleeker profile that feels more natural on tarmac and more secure on gravel. The rear derailleur’s Orbit fluid damper also returns. That added quiet is nice on smooth roads, but the way it limits chain bounce is critical for gravel.
The Red AXS groupset is anchored to our quiver-killin’ ECHO, which transforms from a road-racing thoroughbred to a versatile, agile gravel bike with a simple 10-minute switch of flip chips in the dropouts. These eccentric chips effectively change the chainstay length and fork length by 1cm. As a road machine, the ECHO has 415mm chainstays, a 368mm fork length, a 73-degree headtube angle, and tire clearance for up to a 30mm; flip the chips for gravel and it kicks out to 40mm tire clearance with 425mm chainstays, a 378mm fork length, and a 72.5-degree headtube angle. Pure road performance one day; gravel race-ready the next. One bike. No compromise.
