The oversized pulleys route the chain in a straighter path through the derailleur, and the whole cage comes in at just 65 grams, using the same carbon material SRAM uses on its own RED eTap AXS derailleur cage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bearings are where the real engineering sits: full ceramic units with Zirconia Oxide races and Silicon Nitride balls, independently certified through X-ray diffraction testing. Paired with AbsoluteBlack's X-ring Pulley design — which uses suspended rubber bands inside the pulley to absorb chain impact — the cage runs measurably quieter than stock, rated at an 11dB reduction, or roughly 70% less noise than SRAM's standard AXS pulleys. The carbon components are injection-molded with the carbon fibers optimally aligned for strength, and the glossy finish shows off the weave rather than hiding it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis cage is built specifically for SRAM eTap AXS Red D1\/E1 (2022 and newer), Force D1, and Rival D1 12-speed derailleurs, running an SRAM AXS Flat Top chain across 10-26T, 10-28T, 10-33T, or 10-36T cassettes — it isn't compatible with SRAM XPLR, Force E1, or Rival E1 setups, so it's worth confirming your derailleur generation before ordering. It's available with a black, titanium, red, gold, or PVD Rainbow lower lockring for riders who want the upgrade to show. At $469, the Hollowcage V2 sits at the premium end of drivetrain upgrades — a purchase for someone chasing lower friction and a quieter drivetrain on a bike that already runs SRAM's top-tier AXS groupsets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AbsoluteBlack","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":45636094558252,"sku":"TCRCAGEAXS\/BK-BK","price":469.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Titanium","offer_id":45636094591020,"sku":"TCRCAGEAXS\/BK-TI","price":469.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold","offer_id":45636094623788,"sku":"TCRCAGEAXS\/BK-GL","price":469.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":45636094656556,"sku":"TCRCAGEAXS\/BK-RD","price":469.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rainbow","offer_id":45636094689324,"sku":"TCRCAGEAXS\/BK-RB","price":469.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/ABSOLUTEBLACK-HOLLOWCAGE-V2-CARBON-OSPW-SRAM-AXS-BLACK_de9c9f10-c8af-486d-870b-9550753b7c5f.jpg?v=1781123859","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/absoluteblack-hollowcage-v2-carbon-ceramic-oversized-derailleur-pulley-cage-sram-axs-redforce","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
