Katusha-Alpecin were the only WorldTour representation for SRAM for a couple of seasons until they were joined this year by Trek-Segafredo.
Since the Tour Down Under in January, the two teams have been racing with SRAM's brand new RED eTap AXS HRD groupsets and have also fully committed to racing and training on disc brakes for the entirety of the 2019 season.
Nathan Haas raced the Tour Down Under aboard a Katusha-Alpecin issue Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 9 SL Disc - one of many high-end bikes equipped with the new groupset from SRAM available to purchase commercially.
Alongside the Canyon frameset and SRAM drivetrain and brakes, Katusha-Alpecin run Zipp Firecrest 454 NSW Disc wheels paired with Continental tubulars, while finishing kit is a combination of Canyon's proprietary equipment alongside components from Selle Italia and Look.
