NEW Sram Rival eTap AXS Wireless Groupset: First Look!

  • Hot new bike tech tends to come with a high price tag. It costs a lot to develop ground breaking products but, over time, that cutting edge tech tends to trickle down to lower price points.
    However, sometimes that tech gets stuck. We wait patiently but it just doesn’t get any more affordable. Electronic groupsets have yet to become affordable for the masses, but SRAM have just taken a big step towards this by introducing eTap AXS for Rival, their third tier groupset, opening up the brilliance of eTap to many, many more consumers.

      What’s the point in bringing out new groupsets when under the current climate you can’t buy the current groupsets?...
      It’s almost impossible to buy a full groupset from any of the main brands. Even buying single components is almost impossible.
      Should cycling groupset brands be concentrating on increasing production of current products so we actually have something to buy rather than new groupsets ?......🤔🤔

      i think its awesome from a capitalst stand point. The market is literally 3 companies to choose from. sram is forcing the hand of shimano. Good on them. ultegra di2 for over $2000? GTFO with that nonsense. Electronic shifting has been around for years at this point, if you dont try to remain competative, comapanies like sram will take your buisness. They certainly caught my eye with it.

    I've been riding Shimano my entire life but now after SRAM releasing Force AND Rival eTap AXS that's changing. I love the simplicity of building a bike with a wireless groupset, the intuitive use, the option of affordable powermeters and in general how modular the entire eTap range is so that you can build exactly the bike that fits your needs. No matter if that includes a 'traidional' 2x set up or a 1x mullet set up that allows you to ride up ridiculously steep gradients on epic gravel adventues.

    I was lucky enough to score a Specialized Tarmac SL7 Comp after the first of the year (after like 3 other bikes were made unavailable due to parts and other shortages) so I wasn't even looking to get into the E-Tap space (was planning on an SL6 eventually) but when this showed up unexpected at my local shop (Reser's Bicycle Outfitters in Newport Kentucky - hey have to support those LBS!) they slapped my name on it knowing it would've been sold in a matter of days. I have only been able to ride it on any rides over 20 miles like 6 times so far this year...winter in Kentucky is NOT great for outside riding) BUT I will say I am so far LOVING this set up. It is smooth, it's deliberate and synching the front and rear derailleur for maximum efficiency going into climbs or whatever is amazing. I am already threatening several local PR segments and its only the first of March. This set up on a decent aero minded bike really is a leap forward....so who has a deal on some carbon wheels?? :)

    I'm all in favour of trickle-down tech in cycling... but one of the things I enjoy most about a bicycle is that (in my case) it's purely mechanical and uses basic off-the-shelf parts.
    When part of my work involves fixing (often flaky) computer issues, I sometimes get tired of how electronics and batteries don't tend to age gracefully. It's why my home computer has reverted back to a wired Ethernet connection and why most of my power tools are corded.

    One of the advantages of 1st generation was that if you just bought RD,FD and shifters (+chargers batteries etc) you could stick it on any bike that took 11 speed. No longer. Do you need the whole shebang? Adding chain and cassette - yeah, ok. but some questions that have to been addressed, what rear hub specs are necessary for 12 speed cassettes, do you need a crankset, what BBs do the crankset fit? Mildly concerning if I was a customer with "some" money to spend.

      Yeah, where did the rumored Microspline road groupset go? Last year most bike media was almost certain that 12 speed DA on a microspline hub was coming this year, but the only thing Shimano did for 2021 for groupsets is the Deore MTB groupsets, which are great, I ride Deore 12 speed on my bike and it shifts almost as good as XTR, but the roadies have been a bit neglected.

      Yeah but it's weird for SRAM to offer this now, you can't get hold of any existing cycling products as it is. I'm in the UK and was in my local bike shops yesterday, they have 10 sets of Rival AXS on order and are told 1 is coming in June, 2 in August and they wont see the rest of that order until April next year. They also said timeframes are stretching out not contracting.
      I'm sure latest DA is ready, as it was due last year, but whats the point when things in cycling have a 3 year lifecycle and they wouldn't have been able to deliver many for the 1st year of that cycle. Shimano also had a fire at one of it's factories back in 2018 which had some effect and certainly didn't help. You might as well delay things until supply chains improve - I haven't been able to source DA hydraulic hose kits anywhere in UK, I have even had them on order from the big mail order stores in Germany and Spain and the estimates have gone back twice and it's been over 6 weeks waiting already, just for 2 hoses and some olives!!

    Excellent vid Simon - as always very thorough and straight to the exact questions I have in mind! I agree with your analysis - looks fantastic and checks off a staggering number of wants / needs / must haves.......IMO this is the begging of the end of mechanical groupsets (yeah I said it!) especially when you consider how much easier it is to install and how immune it is from the (many) issues that come up with good old cables, including routing them at tight angles through new headset and handlebar designs that are clearly leading the charge these days. If you want to put everything inside a frame / make them completely out of view, Electronic groupsets are the way to go. Best new product from SRAM every IMO. The only question you didn't address that I think is especially pertinent these days: Availability and lead time!? I fear it will be very hard to get your hands on these sets than we care to discuss - even getting a chain from Sram these days is a 4-6 month delay for some models (the whole industry is reeling though admittedly - not picking on just SRAM of course). I want - but when can I have ?!?!?!?!

  • @engnelsito
    @engnelsito 3 роки тому +3

    First reaction is: Great! They are bringing electronic shifting to a more affordable price point! But when you think about it carefully, you will be paying £1500 for a groupset that weights 3kg... A disk brake bike in the £2500 range with this groupset will surely be around 10kg, and that sort of money would buy you a sub 6.8kg mechanical RED equipped bike a few years ago. Sure I agree with Si that midrange bikes nowadays can be extremely capable machines, but it is also true they cost the same kind of money top of the range bikes used to cost not long ago...

    beautiful and would be useful if SRAM would make Rival as 11 speed with normal cassette and with rim brake option. I'd love to ditch cables on older bike (which I don't want to change) - but there is no options unless older eTap (still very expensive and looks like only 2nd hand these days).

    • @mrvwbug4423
      @mrvwbug4423 3 роки тому

      You could go 12 speed with just a driver change, if your hub has an XD-R option, or lace on a new hub with an XD-R driver. Assuming the bike uses the same rear axle width as modern 11 speed shimano.

  • @wraith01mg

    • @homerjaysimpson8244
      @homerjaysimpson8244 3 роки тому +1

      That would be an unbeatable argument for the Rival. But unfortunately I haven't found any answers yet. Usually, however, combining AXS parts shouldn't be a problem. Above all, the cassette should not cause any problems. But maybe the rear derailleur?
      Invest now in a good bike with Rival and then gradually improve components until you have the desired combination, sounds like a dream.

    From @SRAMroad on twitter in regards to Rival eTap AXS being “disc brakes only” - “Still compatible with rim brakes if you pair the Rival drivetrain with Force or Red AXS rim brake controls.”

    • @mrvwbug4423
      @mrvwbug4423 3 роки тому

      Which just means having to use Force or Red brifters. They assumed most buyers would likely opt for disc, so ditched the rim option to keep the development costs down. The rim brakes days are numbered, even Froome is on disc this year and seems to be a convert after riding rim his entire career before.
