SRAM Force eTap AXS 2x Road Groupset Review

• Sram Force unlocks the effortless simplicity and ultimate versatility of AXS wireless technology for a wider audience than ever before. More progressive X-Range gearing across a greater variety of groupset configurations exposes the true capability of any bike and allows the rider to ride faster, farther, and easier. Sram X-Range gearing technology centers around the development of 12-speed cassettes and the 10-tooth smallest sprocket. This has enabled Sram to reconsider the way riders progress through the gears with more 1-tooth jumps in the cassette maintaining even cadence for a smoother pedaling experience. The rear derailleur features larger pulleys specifically designed for increased efficiency and the Orbit fluid clutch damper to provide frictionless chain motion control. The front derailleur features Sram Yaw trimless cage technology to ensure it doesn‚Äôt rub on the chain in any gear configuration, it also incorporates more clearance for compatibility with wider tyres. The shift/brake levers bring cable braking systems up to date integrating intuitive eTap shift logic with large paddles so shifting is always positive and instantaneous. The 2x groupset features an optional sequential shifting feature in which the rider simply shifts up or down and the electronics figure out which derailleur to move. The rear derailleur can also be set up to compensate for a front derailleur shift automatically, this makes it easier for the rider to maintain an even cadence as the jump down or up is less pronounced. The Sram AXS mobile app allows the rider to personalize how the lever paddles control the groupset on the fly while also being able to view connected feedback on ideal service times and battery levels of all AXS parts. Sram suggest twenty hours shifting battery life on the rear derailleur, in other words enough juice for over 620 miles under typical shifting use, charging in the included cradle takes just one hour. The shift-brake lever takes one CR2032 lithium cell which should provide two years of battery life. Sram have taken a connected approach to all AXS lines meaning that you can pair any of the lever buttons with any other component within the AXS range. This means if you wanted to integrate a drop bar groupset with a Rockshox Reverb dropper seat post on a gravel bike it‚Äôs now as easy as dropping it into your frame and assigning it a button in the app. The rechargeable batteries can also be swapped between components and are exactly the same type used with Sram Red AXS, Sram Eagle AXS, and Reverb AXS.
