I swapped from Etap RED to AXS Red.. when everyone was going nuts for Etap.. Basically even swap and my Moots is happy. I can also use the force 10-36 with the normal AXS RDTobinHatesYou wrote: ↑Wed Dec 21, 2022 11:37 pmWait a few years and buy Red AXS for US$1600 or Force AXS for US$1000 like I did.

Fully agree. Quite often just before the release of the new generation there are nice discounts available for the old generation parts.TobinHatesYou wrote: ↑Wed Dec 21, 2022 11:37 pmWait a few years and buy Red AXS for US$1600 or Force AXS for US$1000 like I did.

At the moment the Force AXS 2x12 upgrade set can be found for 850€ and the 1x12 for less than 700€.

I wonder if new Sram FD (forthcoming) will have a totally new design or JAW.
Also wonder if it'll ever come a really good aftermarket 12 speed 11-** cassette

it will interesting at the OEM level what will happend. a lot of shops are receiving 2022/2023 bikes with soon to be obsolete axs force/red . if sram lauches the next gen axs in jan/feb a lot of inventory will need be discounted.

You're right, but as it is these days, it's probably available (for real) long time after summer 2023.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Availability for most bike stuff is better now than it's been in years. Plus unlike Shimano, SRAM have a good record of hard launching products. Red, Force and Rival AXS were actually available almost immediately after launch.wheelsONfire wrote: ↑Thu Dec 22, 2022 11:44 pmYou're right, but as it is these days, it's probably available (for real) long time after summer 2023.
They'll offer special and more expensive launch editions with the new components, like they've done before.
I've seen the new Force stuff but nothing really exciting in my opinion.
Smaller and lighter without the pad clearance adjustment screw and the satelite switch ports?
