And dropped prices by a ton across the board. For example the True Grit with Rival 1 is 2800 which is a fantastic value for what you get. If you don't want the lauf fork the anywhere version is 2200.

The real deal though is the sram axs builds. They all come with the eagle rd's so you can run big cassettes and they're 3200 and 3700. All with quality Dt swiss wheels too.

When I test rode the true grit I didn't like the suspension fork because I thought the leaf springs were too bouncy but looks like they now have different tension leaf springs depending on size.

Good find. I remember just 2-3 weeks ago, you couldn't get 1x AXS for anything less than $5k. This is great news. Still not quite as crazy as the $5k Canyon Grail with GRC1400s but I would definitely look here again if/when I consider my next bike.

Yeah the frames are actually the same just one comes with the leaf spring fork. I actually liked the frame and was comfy. I would have bought one back then if the price was what it is now.

I forget but it's basically 25% cheaper.
