Johnny Vee Posted April 16, 2021 Share https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/sram-announces-new-rival-etap-axs-groupset/ This is awesome news. This will bring wireless e-shifting to alot more people. Just a quick recap for those that do not know. Sram's tier system goes like this:Sram Red - very light, very expensiveSram Force - little bit heavier than Red, little bit less expensiveSram Rival - heavier than Force, less expensive than Force You could compare Sram Rival to Shimano 105 but remember that this new Rival axs etap is 12 speed with that amazing 10tooth small cog on cassette. This means you can run smaller chainrings on the crank. Here's a nice review from the GCN guys. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter-morgan Posted April 16, 2021 Share with this being the third tier groupset, I wonder if Shimano will ever release Di2 in the 105 Groupset? Johnny Vee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomo Posted April 16, 2021 Share with this being the third tier groupset, I wonder if Shimano will ever release Di2 in the 105 Groupset?Seems like the logical next step ...Dura Ace wireless 12/13 speed with current Di2 filtering to 105. That said, while these lower tier options are cheaper, they are slowly moving further and further from the average man's budget.We may soon be riding Tiagra again ...
