The new Force AXS shift paddle shape is refined to maintain easy access to shift locations while removing the risk of pinching fingers or into the handlebar tape when pulling the brake lever. The new controls borrow from the Rival AXS hood shape but offers a carbon brake lever blade. The change to the control hood eliminates the Blip access ports and offers a smaller hand grip area with a shorter hood reservoir top.
