SRAM announce second-generation Force AXS

[Jbr]

I agree, but i’ve done a ton of miles on the old force, that already had tons of miles when I bought it. But my old force had interchangeable chainrings though

As someone (probably) about to pull the trigger on an AXS mullet setup, why on earth would I pay extra for Force shifters over Rival? Seems like they just took Rival form factor and changed Force to match?

Nope, 100% false. These take 2032 batteries and those chainrings are bulletproof (as long as you stay on top or your chain wear)

Correct. These chainrings are orettt hard as far as aluminium chainrings go. Bikenetwork posted a video review and it appears the rings are stiff and based on Red longevity feedback, will likely outlast most users expected life from the groupset.

im using a SRAM 12 speed chain on my 11 speed DA and it hasn’t work nor has the rings. With the hardnes of the current sram. Road 12 a chains I doubt chainring life span is going to be of any concern unless you want to keep the groupset for 10yrs
