Product Details

Overview & Technology

SRAM eTap Blip Satellite Switch is a compact remote shifter that extends the reach of your RED eTAP drop-bar system to aero bars, clip-on extensions, or custom cockpit setups. The Blip is built as a small, sealed switch with a low-profile button that delivers a precise, tactile shift command to your eTAP system via the Blip Box or directly into compatible RED eTAP lever ports. Available in four cable lengths — 150mm, 230mm, 450mm and 650mm — the Blip gives you flexibility when positioning remotes on narrow tri-bars or long aerobars. The unit’s durable composite housing and weather-resistant construction make it suitable for year-round road riding and triathlon conditions.

Key Features & Benefits

Small footprint, big functionality: The Blip’s compact form lets you add shifting access without cluttering your cockpit. Its responsive button gives a confident click that feels mechanical while commanding SRAM’s wireless drivetrain electronically. • Limitless mounting positions: Mount on aero bars, clip-ons, or anywhere on your cockpit for ergonomically ideal shifting. • Four cable lengths: Choose 150mm, 230mm, 450mm or 650mm to suit tucked tri setups or extended aerobars. • Rugged, weather-resistant build: Sealed housing and durable cable for dependable performance in wet and varied conditions.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation

The Blip is specifically compatible with SRAM RED eTAP drop-bar shifters and the Blip Box. It connects into your eTAP system using SRAM’s standard eTAP accessory interface — plug it into a Blip Box to add multiple remotes or into compatible lever ports where supported. Verify your group compatibility before purchase: this Blip is intended for eTAP systems and the Blip Box accessory. Installation is straightforward: route the supplied cable to your chosen mount point, secure the Blip with tape, zip-ties or the mounting hardware supplied with your clip-on kit, and plug into the Blip Box or lever. Cable length choice matters — use 150mm or 230mm for short-reach aero setups and 450mm or 650mm when routing along full-length aerobars or through frame cable channels.

Who It's For

This accessory is aimed at road racers, triathletes and time trialists who use aero bars or custom cockpit setups and want ergonomic, out-of-the-saddle shifting without moving hands from optimal positions. It’s also ideal for riders retrofitting eTAP to bar-mounted controls, or anyone who wants alternate shift locations for comfort and speed. If you run a RED eTAP system and use clip-on extensions, tri-bars, or need additional switch locations for sprint or TT efforts, the Blip is a compact, reliable solution that keeps your hands in the groove while you change gears.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Blip switch do?

The Blip is a compact remote switch that sends shift commands to a SRAM RED eTAP drivetrain. It lets you place shift buttons on aero bars, clip-ons or alternate cockpit positions so you can change gears without moving your hands from an aero position.

Which cable length should I choose?

Pick the cable length based on your cockpit layout: 150mm or 230mm for short tri/clip-on setups, 450mm or 650mm for full-length aerobars or when routing along the bar. Measure from your chosen mount point to the plug-in location before ordering.

Is the Blip waterproof and durable for all-weather riding?

Yes. The Blip features a sealed composite housing and a durable cable designed to resist moisture and road spray. While rugged, treat connectors with basic care during installation to maintain long-term reliability.

Do I need a Blip Box to use the Blip?

You can plug a Blip into compatible RED eTAP lever accessory ports or into the Blip Box. The Blip Box is useful when you want to run multiple Blips or centralize accessory connections; check your current lever and control setup to determine the best option.

Will this work with non-SRAM systems or older mechanical groups?

No. The eTap Blip is designed to work with SRAM RED eTAP electronic systems and the Blip Box accessory. It is not compatible with mechanical shifting or non-SRAM electronic groups that do not accept SRAM accessory inputs.

How do I mount the Blip on aerobars or clip-ons?

Common mounting methods include double-sided tape, hook-and-loop straps, zip-ties, or clamp mounts supplied with some clip-on systems. Position the Blip where your forearm or thumb naturally rests for quick, ergonomic access during aero riding.

Buying Guide

When buying a satellite switch for a road electronic drivetrain, start by confirming group compatibility — the SRAM eTap Blip is built for RED eTAP systems and works with the Blip Box accessory. Decide where you want the remote: short gusts of aero? Choose a short cable (150–230mm). Running full-length aerobars or through-frame routing? Opt for 450–650mm. Think about mounting: Blips are often attached with double-sided tape, hook-and-loop straps or integrated mounts on clip-ons. Consider number of remotes (single vs. paired) and whether you’ll centralize connections with a Blip Box. Prioritize a clean, snag-free cable run and water-resistant placement for reliable performance in all conditions.
