What are the downsides of the SRAM Red eTap AXS groupset?

Question

What would be the limitations of this SRAM Red eTap AXS groupset that you think are important to note?

Answer 1

The SRAM Red eTap AXS groupset has its own negatives like the brakes being a bit noisy in the rain, having to purchase a UDH-compatible frame and the limited initial range of compatible tires for the new wheels. What’s more, the groupset is pretty costly with the full groupset with a power meter option being priced somewhere around $3,890.

Ridiculous pricing adequate to ridiculous technology. People don't get it: you can't get chicks with a bike.

Hoping they will soon trickle it down to APEX which I hope I can afford

What a complete waste of money these groupsets and the others like them are - these groupsets neatly define the marketing BS of the cycling industry, and all that is wrong with the cycling industry, the profit margins on these 'higher end' groupsets and bikes is significant, you only have to look at the price gouging that has been going on with the massive percentage discounts now being offered on bikes across the board to see how greedy the industry got, and equally with money draining out of it now due to the economic downturn how the venture capitalists are selling off/shutting down bike brands. That aside great content presentation as ever by Warren
