SRAM sent me an email to apply to be a AXS Beta tester. I filled out the application and was accepted.

Will keep everyone posted on what they let me share as I go thru the process. Would be nice to get some hardware to try even if I have to return it later or maybe they would give it to me or sell it to me cheaply! :beerchug:

Doubtful this is for anything other than products like the mobile app, web app, tire pressure calculator, etc.

Yeah it will only be software, that’s what beta testing is for.

It's actually to test beta firmware for products. For example, I just got beta firmware installed on my Force set up. Haven't had a chance to test it outdoors yet.

3T Exploro - SRAM Rival AXS XPLR - Gravel
Wilier Sestiere - Shimano Tiagra - Commuter

it'll now pedal for you. don't you worry anymore. it is however a huge battery drain.

If any of this beta software jacks up your components, will SRAM replace it for you?

Sram will not replace a part damaged by beta test firmware. That was one of the first criticisms of the program.
