First look: Sram Rival eTap AXS: wireless electronic shifting that doesn't cost the earth

- čas přidán 14. 04. 2021
- Sram has stolen a march on its competitors by being the first to market with a lower-priced, third tier offering of its proven wireless eTap AXS shifting.
No longer is wireless electronic shifting the preserve of superbikes and pros, as Sram has now trickled down this technology to potentially get it into the hands of a lot more riders, as crucially the lower tier pricing means we could see it available on bikes from as little as £2,500.
Not only does the groupset look classy, with a premium feel to the components too, but it doesn’t disappoint out on the road.
In this video Cyclist’s Senior Editor, Stu Bowers, takes you through the details, and gives a few of his first ride impressions

Excellent review, I await with baited breath on the delivery of mine!
Subscribed great overview and channel :)
Good review....👍
about to pick up my SL7 comp with Rival! cannot wait.
About to get mine with this set up as well ! Can’t wait !!
Oh wow Rival went wireless. First review first comment. Thank you for this. Excellent review as always.
Glad you liked it!
@@Cyclistmagvideo Absolutely liked it👍🏾
Sick!! Shimano need to step up their game with electronic 105 groupo. Never been a sram fan but this one is pretty good for the price. Personally don't care much for the weight since I'm not using a lightweight bike and I'm already a light rider. I would grab this one if shimano decides not to drop a 105 electronic.
i'm sold ...lets go cannondale super six evo...i need this!
Great video ,thanks !
Is there a
1 x 11 setup please ?
Hi Rob, no it's 1x 12 only for this latest generation, but Sram's older groupsets are still available as 1x 11
Where did you get a sl7 in that colour ? Is it standard ?
What is the bikes total weight with pedals and cages?
My money is going to SRAM. I hope Shimano makes a 12 speed electronic 105 gruppo soon. Until then, I am looking at a the Aethos Comp (Rival eTap - $4800 USD) and what Canyon or others come out with on a lightweight, electronic shifting, disc brake bike to replace my 9 year old Cannondale Supersix
Trek is much cheaper - really! Emonda with rival is 500 € (i guess 600 $) cheaper than the Tarmac and comes even with carbon rims. And I don't work for Trek!
I looking at aethos comp, will upgrade too alp wheels latter.
Same 10r frame as pro bike is getting great reviews
Can you upgrade it to 11-50t?
Is it just me or is it fatiguing trying to discern what the narrator is saying with him battling over the annoyingly loud and bad music? Otherwise, awesome video! :)
No bleed port that’s disappointing 😒
They do now I think 👍
Many riders will not be bleeding their own brakes? It's like he's saying the people he thinks will buy this are only inexperienced amateurs.
Unless you own multiple bikes that use DOT fluid and use SRAM hose fittings it may not be the most economical choice to buy a SRAM bleed kit... that under normal circumstances will only need to be bled once a year (after initial setup) of the 8 bikes in my household, ONE uses SRAM hydraulic brakes. I'm fully capable of bleeding my own brakes... but i might as well throw a little buisness to the brick and mortar shop once or twice a year.
You can certainly bleed the rival AXS system - you just need to use the old SRAM bleed procedure.
The "bleeding edge port" found in the RED and force brifters just simplifies the bleed procedure
Still isn't exactly "cheap" though.
3.2kg!!! No thanks
Meanwhile sram official video calling it axis.
nope. Trust me
axis doesn't even make sense
The axis of evil, as former president Bush liked to call it...
@@marcokalle2452 Except Bush is the evil one, world upside down because people believe the lies authority tells them
@@smallhatshatethetruth7933 not here to discuss politics, sorry. Just tried to be funny, obviously not very succesful
Shimano better respond
mechanical 105 shifts faster
Real cyclists won't go near SRAM.
