Would you choose the new Sram Red AXS over Shimano Dura-Ace?

[sand]

I'm liking this cynical and sarcastic take on cycling.

[savagepro]

I'm stuck with Dura Ace 9000 mechanical . . . forever!

[Cycle.every.day.]

It's funny how reviewers only tell you their true feelings regards a groupset once it becomes the previous groupset, all reviewers over the last 24hrs have only now told us how they really feel about Sram red axs of 2019-present.

[hugochong]

If im not racing and not making a living from cycling then i sure dont need the latest and greatest. Im still riding with sram red etap 11sp from 2019 i never had issues. Most average cyclist like myself dont need to spend 4k + on the latest groupset. Just my opinion ✌️

[Di_GP]

6:21 Have a look inside Shimano manual, or look under the rubber hood of your Di2 shifter. Every Shimano Di2 has both reach and free stroke adjustment. There is no such thing as pad clearance adjustment, only free stroke adjustment on both Shimano and SRAM. Also what was the multishift speed setting on Dura Ace?

[mrbinc]

I’ve been riding the red etap 1. Gen. For 6 years. I would love to upgrade to this one, if only this groupset wouldn’t cost as much as my 2018 Canyon with Red and Zipp wheels cost back then when bikes were still “affordable”.

[Dtraveller]

Was waiting for this before deciding on my new bike… was already leaning towards SRAM for dual batteries and gear ratios (and aesthetics). New levers just confirmed my choice.

[JeffBudden]

Absolutely been using sram for years did try Shimano and just upgraded bike to sram red E1 love it

[kestralrider]

I will watch and see if in 2025 SHimano can make a power meter that measures your actual power, and a crankset that won't be recalled would be a nice bonus. For now, I'm saving my spare change and pinching pennies until I can afford my new Red dream bike build, cost be damned.

[BikesKomsCRO]

Just get Rival AXS and upgrade the Crank to a Force D2 spider PM.. Best budget / Performance option and works as good as Red..

[ageofsigmar]

skyrocket price crazy! I'm sitting with my 105 DI2, which is good enough!

[petersouthernboy]

I want to buy the shifters for my Rival equipped gravel race bike.

[michabujak]

For me, the best ones are those with a narrower q factor. but I'm talking for me

[antoinedg]

there is no double click and long-press on auxiliary buttons like on Di2.
the rear derailleur is more decentralized with respect to the cassette. Shimano is more nicely hidden under the cassette.
other than that, the groups looks nice and feals great, has made up for a lot of lagging-behind.
definitely considering it for the next bike.

I think also we have to look at the camp you like best regardless of improvements. What I mean is, in the states picking your groupo set is like those in the Chevy or Ford camp of matter the bad things in each, some are just loyal to a particular manufacturer. I went SRAM just over 15 years ago and through the mechanical aspect now to the AXS or wireless as we say. SRAM is more intuitive to me, and their sets are what I like best for me personally. I had nothing really wrong with Shimano and coming from them and mainly the Ultegra lineup on any new bike or build, but SRAM is king to me. That have a 2022 Cannondale SuperSixEvo with SRAM Rival AXS that came built on the bike from a shop. I have to say, the Rival is quite pleasant, but I recently bought a full drivetrain upgrade to the Force D2 system (shifters/brakes, cassette 10-36, crank 172.5 in 46-33, chain, FD and RD) but keeping the Paceline rotors for now. I have yet to build that up and will wait until this fall to do so. As to Red and it going head-to-head with Dura do simply believe it comes to the Chevy vs. Ford mentality or at least here in the states. If tomorrow I no longer had SRAM to use, I could go back to Shimano with hardly any grief but if given the is Legend! Great review and will be subscribing to your channel!

Shimano is currently working on 13 speed cassette & true wireless setup like SRAM. Could it be for the new Dura-ace?

[pigeonkillblah]

It feels silly commenting on videos about stuff so ridiculously way out of my price range, but I wish the gap between the chainrings was bigger - 46*11 with 28mm tyres ad 90rpm is 48km/h so it's already an let's say optimistic gear to have on my bike, but I'd certainly welcome a 29ish ring at the front to have a tighter spacing between the gears at the back and still have 1:1 or thereabouts ratio.

[jericomanoguid]

The greatest question since it's electronic which is the better durability for battery and durability?

[savagepro]

Wireless groupsets unboxing will always be . . . a manual process. No buttons to press here. Open the box yourself.🤣
