Thoughts on Sram Rival eTap AXS XPLR please
I am considering a bike with this group set. The bike is very expensive and while I don't know much about Sram group sets it looks like Rival is Srams 3rd tier group set.
If that is the case I don't think I would consider the bike for the price, in the $8,000 range. Any insight or info on the group set would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have 2 bikes with the Rival eTap AXS group, Cervelo Caledonia and Lynskey Helix. The group works great. I never knew changing gears could be so easy. The batteries are easy to change and last numerous rides. The system connects to my Wahoo Bolt computer showing which gears I am using and after the ride the data is uploaded to AXS.SRAM.com with the number of gear changes, time in each gear, distance in each gear and much more.
The bikes I have it on didn't cost more than $4600 each. Lynskey has had a discount of 20 to 35% lately.

Thanks very much, I appreciate the info. There is a possibility I could get a deal so I may go for it as I like everything else about the bike.
