SRAM Rival eTap AXS

I personally haven’t ridden a bike with SRAM… but correct me if I am wrong, but it seems so much easier the approach that SRAM has taken with electronic gears, compared to Shimano?

Also looking at the whole app eco system that SRAM has, almost feels like Shimano is falling behind?

Who wants to pay 2500 euro for something with wires and no power meter, when you can pay 1500 euros, get wireless, PM…

Of course we will have to see what Shimano drops, but if they don’t introduce 105 Di2 I think they will be missing out…

Also, 105 looks visually way way more entry level than Rival does…

Get a bike with Rival and then just change crankset to Red AXS and I wouldn’t notice the difference… between the groups.
