Leaked images reveal a new SRAM Red AXS groupset featuring updated rear derailleur, cassette, chain, hydraulic disc brake calipers, and rotors, with a focus on weight reduction through hollowed-out designs. The prototype shifters spotted in a patent last November are confirmed to be part of the new groupset, and the groupset is expected to maintain 12-speed gearing. The new design suggests a potential focus on cutting weight to compete as the lightest electronic road bike groupset available, with similarities to SRAM's XX SL Eagle Transmission rear derailleur and potential improvements to braking technology.

SRAM has introduced the new Apex AXS, a groupset designed for gravel bikes and aimed at price-conscious riders. The groupset is exclusively available as a 1x setup and features a mullet setup, offering enormous gear ranges on a 1x setup. The new groupset won’t be exclusive to the AXS interface, i.e. wireless shifting, and there will also be a fully analogue offshoot. The mechanical Apex groupset features a newly developed rear derailleur and matching controls, expanding the portfolio with some exciting components in the lower-priced segment.

Primož Roglič, a Slovenian cyclist, used a gravel groupset in the Queen stage of the Giro d'Italia, featuring a single front chainring and a large cassette with a gear range of 440%. The setup may have aerodynamic advantages, lower weight, and reduced chain deflection and drivetrain losses. Roglič swapped bikes during the stage, likely to test the equipment and prepare for the upcoming time trial. The use of a single front chainring is necessary due to the 1x compatible cassette, and he may have opted for a 44T front ring.
