Follow the steps below to update the firmware on all of your AXS components using AXS Bike Update.
If you ONLY have a Quarq power meter, TyreWiz, or AirWiz sensor, learn how to update these components here.
UNDERSTANDING AXS FIRMWARE UPDATES
AXS firmware updates are periodically released for every AXS component to improve general system performance and function. While not required, keeping your firmware up to date is best practice and may provide additional features or improvements.
The AXS Bike Update process can install firmware updates on up to 4 components simultaneously, but it will be able to update all components in one session. Read more below to learn how AXS Bike Update works.
UPDATING FIRMWARE
1) Open the latest version of the SRAM AXS App. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device and that you have a stable cellular or Wi-Fi connection.
2) Wake the AXS system by lightly bouncing or shaking your bike, then select the bike that you are updating in the AXS app.
Getting stuck?
- If a primary component does not wake from moving your bike, press its AXS button for two seconds or less. If this doesn't work, place the AXS battery on the charger until full. Then, try again.
- If a component does not connect, ensure it is awake and that your mobile device's Bluetooth is enabled. Then try again. If this doesn't work, force quit the AXS App and toggle your mobile device Bluetooth off and on. Then, try again.
3) Select “Updates Available.”
4) The box next to all AXS components with available firmware updates will be checked by default. Select “Update Components” to begin the update process.
5) Press and release the AXS button (two seconds or less) on each component to start the firmware update process.
6) The LED on each component will blink rapidly while the update is being installed, and the progress bars will indicate the estimated time left for each update. You can walk away from your bike and phone while the updates are being installed, but do not exit the AXS Bike Update screen or AXS app during the installation process.
7) Once all updates have completed, select “Return to Bike” to exit the AXS Bike Update menu after your firmware has been updated.
8) The AXS App will now indicate that all of your AXS Components are up to date.
