Two buttons, a click-and-fire action, and full control over what each press actually does — assigned in the app rather than fixed at the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLighter than the Eagle AXS controllers it replaces, with better ergonomics and far more mounting adjustability.

A controller that fires too easily gives you phantom shifts over rough ground. One that takes too much force makes you reposition your hand to use it. This sits in the middle, and it feels the same on the first ride and the two-hundredth because there's no cable tension to change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAssign the buttons however you want\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNeither button has a fixed job.

Combined with app-assignable buttons, that means one part covers configurations that used to require two different SKUs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's also multi-position on the clamp, so you can rotate and slide it to the exact spot your thumb naturally lands rather than accepting wherever the clamp happens to put it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDiscrete clamp — what that means\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis version ships with a \u003cstrong\u003ediscrete clamp\u003c\/strong\u003e: its own dedicated bar clamp that mounts independently of everything else on your cockpit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade against SRAM's integrated clamps is simple. A discrete clamp works with any brake lever from any brand, and gives you complete freedom on bar position. An integrated bridge or Infinity clamp gives you a cleaner cockpit with fewer clamps on the bar, but only if you're running matching SRAM brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf your brakes aren't SRAM, or you just want the Pod exactly where you want it, discrete is the right choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWorks with everything AXS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pod speaks the AXS protocol, which means it controls any AXS component regardless of tier or discipline:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEagle AXS and Eagle Transmission (T-Type) mountain drivetrains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad and gravel AXS drivetrains, including XPLR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRockShox Reverb AXS dropper posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's also ANT+ compatible, so it plays nicely with head units and other connected devices, and it's fully approved for e-bike use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eBattery\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA single CR2032 coin cell, and it lasts a very long time — think seasons, not rides.
