Etap AXS XPLR

[FlatlandClimber]

Just saw a SRAM Eagle 52t dork disc.. is this aero?

Look at this dork, who got aero wheels and equipped them with 45c tires


Oh wait, that's me.

Add the dork disc, and you're ready for dirt track season.

Hey. I use 50mm rim with 42mm gravel tires too. Don’t judge me

Anyone hear anymore news on Sram XPLR?

I noticed Google has a phantom link for Competitive Cyclist for Red AXS XPLR Derailleur. Fingers crossed they do in fact offer XPLR in the lighter weight Red options. Only problem is, I can hardly wait I want this so badly!!!

Agreed! I'm sure XPLR won't be available until Fall 2022 anyways, so just go ahead and announce it already!

I think this might have been in use at the unbound gravel event.

Hard to say - I just know of the existence, not what it looks like.

Where is that image from? Because thats it. You spotted it!

Happy to know that they are offering the lighter option in Red AXs long cage, but the cassette looks like a Force AXs 10-44

This is getting excited

Would that be this bike?

Yes thats it! I cant wait for this derailleur and cassette.. Sram take my money now!

That's also not a model of Trek that is currently released. Presumably a new Checkpoint, but looks quite Emonda inspired

What I am now nervous about is when Sram intends to release the XPLR line. I thought for sure they would of done it for the Unbound Gravel 200 race. But seeing as its being tested on Treks Cyclocross bike Im worried they will wait until September for the beginning of Cross season.

Who knows

XPLR announcement is imminent...along with new wheels, a dropper post, etc.

While a next generation Checkpoint is exciting in it's own right, it would appear as though Quinn was running a Force 10-36 cassette in the back. The previous thumbnail of what appeared to be new new XPLR drivetrain had a larger black cog and a chrome nickel finish for the remaining 11 gears. I could be totally wrong here, but thought it worth pointing out that that those two photos don't match. Hopefully the wait to the release isn't much longer!

Wheels? Really? Presumably you must mean under the Zipp brand.

Not sure. But I think there's pretty much no way they do a Red XPLR RD and don't do Red cassettes (probably only one at launch) to match. Weight and performance difference is much larger with the Red cassette.
