I have no doubt the price will be $$$, but I'm skeptical of this. Maybe something was lost in translation going from aussie bucks to freedom dollars? XX1 chains are ~$90 bucks. Current flattop RED chains are $75 at msrp. It would be pretty egregious to have a literal 160% price increase. Also—XX SL AXS? Are there going to be different SL and regular tiers of XX?

Wait till you see the pricing on the new XX SL AXS. the chain alone is $240 USD haha

jesus wept, The amount of whinging from you lot on a forum specifically about tech rumours and innovation is astounding to me. Primoz, man, like I said, theres tonnes of brand new XX1 out in the world, go buy it so you no longer have to worry. I can only assume you have tried AXS on your mtb, strangely everyone Ive spoken to that owns it, absolutely loves it. Ive seen many online complaints, but I dont put too much stock into that, cause often its people weirdly expressing opinions about something they know very little about those of you...

It was for GX. they released a similar picture 14 days before they announced it.

Instasram posted this, the same gimmick as the original AXS I think? Launch is probably a week away.

Any day now!

With the Trek on the non-drive side, and the Nomad in soft focus, there's not much detail to see, but Miranda's bikes in today's SRAM announcement are clearly set up with the new stuff. You can tell the crankset is different than current models, you can see that the controller pods are the new shape, and—I could definitely be wrong about this one—the amount of exposed stanchion on the droppers has me thinking those miiiiiiight be 200s. Maybe.

There's bound to be a 200mm version coming. Unsure what other changes will be coming along with that, but the controller pods have 2 distinct buttons on them, so it seems probable that there's more than just the addition of a new length to the lineup.

At the risk of sounding "boomer", I'm going to say that gearboxes are nowhere near ready for bicycles. (maybe shuttled downhill only?) Anyone who has rebuilt any transmission, car / motorcycle / tractor, knows that the amount of unavoidable drag /resistance / friction /watt-sucking is shocking. downvote me because you love Honda clickbait

Any day now…..

New Specialized "Supercaliber" and new SRAM stuff.

XX/X0 almost certainly only wireless GX will likely have a cable actuated option Price tiers: XX X0 GX (AXS) GX (Cable)

price is insane.... better to pickup a used one and have it modded for $160. Or just buy the new RS and save yourself 1k.

Here's the menu from back in Jan... anything non-Eagle has disappeared.

It must be getting close, a lot of current product has disappeared from the SRAM website.

I really liked the Strive platform, the suspension really impressed me and I think the shapeshifter is cool for big days on the bike. BUT, having raced in Tasmania before I felt like the Spectral would be better suited for those rounds with it being more nimble, for me. With the long break after the first block I think I'll have plenty of time to get used to the Strive for the Euro rounds.

It’s awesome that you pop in here and mingle with us speculative plebes!! Thank you Jesse and good luck this season!! Go fast and take chances!!

Oh the through-frame cable routing is made of carbon, well I guess that explains why they’re so much fucking money. Who cares?

Rock Shox must be dropping the new vivid air any day now, the latest Moi Moi TV covering shock testing has it right out there in the open. https://youtu.be/k8oD2GO_k9Y?t=510
