"SRAM's wireless AXS Transmission drivetrains are becoming increasingly common. Whether on complete builds or as an aftermarket upgrade, more and more riders are forgoing the cables in favor of wireless shifting. While Transmission's shifting performance and durability are generally held in high regard, one aspect of these wireless shifting systems has proven to be somewhat polarizing. The AXS Pod Controllers."
"It's not that the Pods don't work; they work fine, but many riders find the ergonomics to be subpar, including me. With limited adjustability, I've found it nearly impossible to set up the Pods in a way that I would consider to be perfect. No matter what, I find that I always need to reposition my hand or reach with my thumb in an awkward way to press the upper button."
"I've been patiently waiting for SRAM to develop something new- aside from the Pod Rocker Paddle - or at least provide a more adjustable clamp to remedy the situation. But I'm still waiting and complaining about the Pod Controllers on every AXS-equipped mountain bike I ride. That's why I was excited to see Freedom Coast's 90-Degree Pod Clamp. Finally, someone else took it into their own hands to develop a solution to this ongoing problem."
SRAM's wireless AXS Transmission drivetrains are increasingly common, praised for shifting performance and durability while their AXS Pod Controllers face criticism for poor ergonomics and limited adjustability. Many riders experience awkward thumb reaches and hand repositioning to access the upper button, which undermines the system's design and perceived value. Freedom Coast developed a 90-Degree Pod Clamp that bends the AXS Pod Controller bar clamp ninety degrees, repositioning the pod for improved ergonomics. Freedom Coast is known for fork mounts and CNC'd bike components and applies that expertise to create a simple, aftermarket solution aimed at solving persistent Pod Controller fitment issues.
