Staying Relevant

You have to give SRAM props, they are steadily progressing forward with each release. Market share through OEM sales is their goal. When they went twelve speed, they snagged orders with it.

From Bikerumor:
BMC’s premium $12,500 / 12,000€ Teammachine SLR01 Disc LTD is the kind of bike we expect to see the latest and greatest bike tech featured .

Cannondale thinks the all-rounder Synapse with Red eTap AXS makes a nice combo, but expect it on the new aero SystemSix too.

Canyon is going the aero route as well with their 7500€ Aeroad CF SLX Disc. It’s also ready on the 6300€ Ultimate CF SLX Disc and 6300€ Endurace CF SLX Disc.

For Cervélo, we’ve seen the latest R5 get a wireless 12-speed SRAM option now, but the much newer aero S5 is quickly following suit.

Giant give both their aero Propel Advanced SL Disc and the lightweight TCR Advanced SL Disc road bikes SRAM 2×12 eTap AXS builds

The Koga Kimera Pro will be a nice option for riders looking for a super stealth bike with the new wireless 12-speed groupset.

Orbea offers both their Orca Aero and classic Orca with the new 12-speed drivetrain.

From Pinarello, try the F10 Disk

Or Rose’s relatively affordable Team GF Six Disc Red eTap AXS or their Xeon CW Disc Red eTap AXS either of which for 5,800€, or two hundred more for this X-Lite Six Disc Red eTap AXS

Scott highlighted the aero Foil Disc as befitting a new wireless group, concealing most of the brake’s connections for a clean look.

Specialized had similar wireless thoughts with their spanking new S-Works Venge Disc, taking it a step further by tucking every vestige of hydraulic brake lines inside the handlebar, stem and frame


3T’s Strada road bike gives users plenty of option. Go 1x with the original Strada, or 2x with the Strada Due.

And rounding out the alphabet of premium road bikes, the $12,500 aero Trek Madone SLR 9 Disc is another one to put a hurt on your wallet to get the latest drivetrain, or the slightly more affordable (haha) $12,000 lightweight Trek Émonda SLR 9 Disc.
