Everything in this video was bought by us for stock. SRAM had no say in this video.
17th June 2025, SRAM Launch the update Force Road, Rival Road, Force XPLR and Rival XPLR groupsets. This is our first look at the range, and we discus how it fit with the current and potential future offer from Shimano and Campagnolo. I am critical at how they have choosen to trickle down the tech from the Red range.
The video concludes with my opinion that SRAM Red and Campagnolo Super Record dominate the top tier.
SRAM Force and Shimano Dura Ace are a close match up
Then Shimano dominate the mid tier with Ultegra and 105 being no match for anything else on the market.
SRAM Rival and Apex, is too heavy and over priced to be a compelling choice.
