Hands on and ride tested. The 2024 evolution of the SRAM Red AXS groupset is here. We examine, build, and analyse with the help of of special guests. We have paid for this groupset, we own it, the review is our own words, and SRAM have not seen this video prior to upload or had any say in it's production or content.

The highlight features are the new lever and how we believe this is the stand out feature that delivers more speed to the competitive road bike rider though improved safety and comfort, along with the welcome weight savings.

In this video we examine the individual components and then build them into a bike, showing some key installation points. We then get out on a ride, before heading to London for the prestigious launch in at the Prince Charles Cinema. While we we there we managed to get opinions from Robbie McEwen who had actual ride experience. We also caught up with Nick from Back Yard bikes to hear his first impressions and ideas after having built a test bike for Francis Cade.

Finally Simon and I try and process all this info, we present the prices and out thoughts on the options and prices.
