Alternatives to SRAM Red AXS disc calipers (flat mount)?

I've got an AXS Red group in need of flat mount disc brakes calipers yet they seem to be out of stock everywhere. What are good non SRAM hydro disc brake calipers that work with with Red AXS hydro shifters? Hope? which model? Others? Thanks.

I believe the rears are available in 160’s not 140’s.

I had the opposite problem you did, trying to go from flat mount to post mount.

I had checked and checked for some Hopes, but I could not find anything sooner than this September. Even with that date they seemed hesitant to think it was a reality. With that long lead time that had me wondering if it was worth it if I needed small parts for them down the line. Will availability dry up?
I went with Red AXS post mounts.

If you already have post mount then you can just use adapters until sorting out a flat mount set.

But honestly, any dot fluid brake will probably work fine as long as the hose barn and olive connecting the caliper to the connectamajig at the shifter is done correctly. Good thing is it’s only the olive and barb at that junction and not the banjo like earlier sram HRD levers.
