Julie Elliot (youtube cyclist from UK) had Explr Cassette and RD on at Grinduro last week.. She mentioned Sram had a surprise change for her for the event.. There is a picture on her instagram where you can see it a bit..

I assume, before the end of the month we will see it release if not by Sept..

I base this on the fact that YouTubers get the kit a month or so prior to release, some a bit sooner so they can all post their video opinions on the release date, which typically falls on a Tuesday or Thursday..

August 10th it seems ;)
The page seems to be down now. Anything good besides the date?
Nope, infos are blurred on the cassette and RD (pictures as well as description). Most interesting is pricing. Last years version was a Force Mullet AXS built for 4.050€. 3.600€ for the XPLR seems to be off. Would be incredibly cheap for that built (carbon wheels etc.).
Rumors say the Cube will be revealed only with Rival XPLR.
Would be a reason.. but kind of strange if everything else is Force. But would make sense from a price perspective

Also: as somebody here posted earlier, Zipp is also supposed to drop some XPLR stuff tomorrow.

Info released on all the usual outlets..

https://www.velonews.com/gear/gravel-ge ... rivetrain/

Cycling tips has a video on it.

I'm guessing Rudy fork is a "road/groad Judy"..should of been the Grudy.
Rockshox is back in the dropbar suspension fork game!

Is it matter of time until we see Rockshox Paris Roubaix SL mark 2? It has been 20yrs after all.
