Focus Izalco SRAM eTap - 19Video: Behind the development of SRAM eTap
SRAM makes very good bicycle components. It is also pretty handy at marketing. It has just released this slick video that explains how and why it has developed the new eTap wireless groupset.
After the kerfuffle with the hydraulic disc brake recall a few years ago during which it no doubt lost a few customers and fans, the unveiling of eTap, the only wireless groupset on the market, has put it firmly back on many people's radar.
There's been so much demand for it, in fact, that the first shipments have completely sold out.
Mat got to ride the groupset at the launch event last summer and you can read his thoughts on how it works right here.

SRAM also has two teams using eTap in the WorldTour this year. There's AG2R, who were racing it in development guise last year, and new signing Katusha (though who knows how long they'll retain their WorldTour license for is anyone's guess).

David worked on the road.cc tech team from 2012-2020. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK. He's a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all. He's mildly competitive, though he'll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds, and you can now find him over on his own YouTube channel David Arthur - Just Ride Bikes.
