SRAM Force AXS HRD E1 Road Bike Groupset 2x12

If you want pro-level performance without the eye-watering price tag, SRAM Force AXS HRD E1 is the sweet spot. This is the groupset we fit for riders who want all the wireless, customizable tech of Red, but in a lighter, more affordable package—perfect for road, gravel, or cyclocross.

Why We Recommend Force AXS at Bike Clinique:
Force AXS is for cyclists who want to focus on the ride, not the wrenching. With wireless shifting, powerful hydraulic brakes, and easy customization via the SRAM AXS app, you get a system that’s as smart as it is reliable. The cranks are ultra-stiff carbon, the shifting is lightning-fast, and the ergonomics are dialled for all hand sizes. Want to go further? We can even build you a Mullet setup—combining Force AXS with Eagle MTB tech for monster range on gravel adventures.
