Heralding in a new era of speed and precision, the highly anticipated and widely regarded SRAM RED eTap wireless drivetrain has finally been given the green light for South Africa by ICASA. This according to Cape Cycle Systems, the authorised importers of SRAM products into South Africa.

We have seen SRAM as the driving force in bicycling innovation and we expect eTap to put us top of the list in the South African road bike market, says Cape Cycle Systems.

Pricing is as yet to be advised.

Please follow Cape Cycle Systems on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to receive up to date information pertaining to the development of eTap in South Africa.

This is really good news. At least. Here's a useful link for those that can't afford eTap but want it.

Glad for Cape cycle systems. Really hope they make a lot of money with this. Monopoly in place with no offshore competition.

Wonder how much they are going to charge. Looking at the Black Friday "special" of R37500 on CWC, the prices locally are going to be outrageous compared to international

CWC is 45K, Its a pretty impressive grouppo the nice thing about the batteries is if you run flat on one you can swap them out front to rear or rear to front - you gotta be in the big blade right? :)
