Besides the AXS Eagle sets, I have that gut feeling SRAM may also refresh the AXS dropper post, which is already 4 years old. The idea came from that, German webshops not only reduced the price of the x01/xx1 AXS sets but also reduced the price of the wireless droppers. (Okay, very likely I'm wrong but who knows) :)

With the new Cassette having the exact same gears as the XPLR cassette, with the only difference being the XPLR has an 11t and the new Eagle has a 52t, I wonder if the Eagle will be officially compatible with the 10-44 cassette. The 10-50 is likely not coming back, and the new chain definitely looks road bike compatible.

S-Works SL8 (2023) 6.3kg

*weights are race ready, size 58/L.

The cassette is only similar to XPLR once you get to 21T...

XPLR: 10,11,13,15,17,19,21,24,28,32,38
New Eagle: 10,12,14,16,18,21,24,28,32,38,44,52

In between 10 and 21 one has odd teeth, while the other has even.

The new chain appears to be a "Flat Top" design, but I wouldnt put it past SRAM to come up with a new, non-compatible "standard" just because they can get away with doing so. :-(

A new pic from MTB-news.de:

...also a few pic from a new (?) SID (35?) SL: https://www.mtb-news.de/news/rockshox-s ... htet-2023/

Cannot see it sharply but that raw alu Reverb collar also looks like a non-series one. (??) Update: did a small comparison on this part, this is very likely the old part.

That shift remote just looks horrible! Wtf is that? 😅
Looks like a pedal dangling in the handlebar.

The SID seems to have the crown with extra machining to save maybe 10g maximum, the internals should be the same, so I'm not expecting a big weight difference from the previous version.

Looks strange at first, but it`s growing on me. Depends more if it`s comfortable to use. Seems you can mave it left or right now, and you can rotate it.

Is that confirmed or just speculation?

That would be crazy, noone would buy it then. Only for pro riders.
I would assume cassette could be around 400-500€ and chain seems similar flattop as on road, that is around 40-50€
Current Garbaruk 12speed XD cassette is ~260€, and they will probably make a new one as well. I would assume priced 300-400€ max.

@Alfus, when can we expect new XTR Di2?

Why are you thinking about a XTR Di2?

I have a Scott Spark with 11 speed XTR Di2 and Fox iCD in one setup. Works perfect. Still wondering, why they have not done 12speed option for that.
That Di2 XTR rear derailleur is bulletproof and work of art, much better, than new mech 12 speed XTR.
