Teamsloan Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 The price is ridiculous, but I would love this setup. The clean cockpit of a single speed bike, but with dropper and eagle drivetrain. Way easier to strip down the bike for cleaning. And being able to customize the functionality via the app satisfies the nerd in me. The price will come down over time and before you know it we'll all be adding spare AXS batteries to our hydration packs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinerider Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I know of at least one person who has the Shimano DiS version on a road bike and absolutely loves how it functions. It auto-steps gear ratios between front and back derailleurs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have severe wrist pain toward the end of 100 mile rides from the shifting on the regular ultegra levers. Having been involved in the world of RC planes and cars 20 years ago, I always wondered why they didn’t use a servo to shift gears on a bike. It just makes sense.

Teamsloan Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Plus the "recovery" feature of the AXS derailleur after taking a hit is cool. Interested to see how that functions in real life situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamwa Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Deepening the relationship between machine and rider. I do this every time the top tube and my neithers touch. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack_turtle Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I can see a lot of reasons why wireless actuation of mechanical bike bits is awesome. For 99% of riders, it will just make bikes more expensive and needlessly complex with disposable parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larlev Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Seeing as how I'm a nutjob when it comes to a messy cockpit I'd love this. Maybe when it trickles down to GX, NX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack_turtle Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 No wireless brakes yet? I am sure they'll be as reliable and confidence-inspiring as any other SRAM stoppers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamsloan Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Servo operated master cylinder close to the caliper, much simpler to bleed and you can program in bite point/freestroke, lever sensitivity, and even ABS. Taking the bike apart for travel would be simplified too. Much easier to install for mountain tandems. ...wireless brakes would be nuts.
