SRAM has just dropped a huge wave of updates, refreshing both their road and gravel groupsets across the Force and Rival lines. For road riders, the 2x12-speed Force and Rival AXS groupsets now feature redesigned E1 levers with easier actuation, carbon blades, and auto-trim front derailleurs - bringing much of the premium RED tech down to more accessible price points. Gravel riders get brand new 1x13-speed XPLR variants with UDH-compatible full mount derailleurs, no hanger or limit screws, and cheaper, more attainable 13-speed cassettes. Power meter options span Quarq spider-based meters and updated spindle-based units, all AXS app-compatible with proven tech under the hood. In short, SRAM didn’t trickle this one out - they dumped a truckload of solid tech and component options for all types of riders.
