If one had inputted their cassette wrong, it would likely result in a non-smooth shifting situation.ДЇinally, the same вЂsecurityвЂ™ rules that were in place for the original eTAP apply here with the addition of Bluetooth Smart. ThatвЂ™s key of course for SRAM to be able to do the math for the compensating and sequential shifts correctly. Within the app is where youвЂ™ll be able to configure exactly what type of cassette youвЂ™ve got. It does sound like this is in the works though, but SRAM is focused on getting AXS out the door first, and then will circle back on that. As of today there is no ability, for example, to use some of the extra buttons as controls for your Garmin device, as there is on Shimano already. Or you can tweak what happens when you dual-paddle hold. For example, you can instantly swap if you want the left paddle to make it harder instead of easier. Next, as part of the ability to tweak eTAP configuration, you can also re-assign any of the buttons to different features. You can turn this all off and just shift like you always have. Now вЂ“ to be really clear: These are *optional* modes. The idea here is to вЂsoftenвЂ™ the blow between big and small ring shifts up front. Somewhat interesting here is that when shifting up versus down, it actually makes the jump in slightly different spots depending on the direction youвЂ™re going up/down the cassette.Д¬ompensating: In this configuration, when you manually shift the front derailleur, the unit will automatically compensate by shifting one or two additional cogs in the back, depending on how you have it configured. In this mode you can always hold both shifters at once to front-shift like normal (effectively overriding it). This gives you easier access to more gears sequentially. Sequential: In this mode your shifters change to simply increasing or decreasing how hard your gears are, and eTAP will *automatically* shift the front derailleur as it makes sense from a math standpoint.

Within the app there are two basic вЂenhancedвЂ™ shifting modes, sequential and compensating: With AXS though you can start to do some customization akin to what Shimano offers with Syncro Shift. Previously there was no smartphone app, again, putting them at a disadvantage compared to Shimano which allowed customization of shifting. That may sound like an obvious thing to do, but it wasnвЂ™t there previously.Д«ut the real big ticket item here for having a smartphone app at all, is the configuration of eTAP. Now you can dive into the new SRAM AXS app, which allows you to add each of these components into the app and manage them in bike arrangements. For example, youвЂ™ll need to decide on crank length as normal as well as which of the three chainring sizes you want. Now to be fair, there are a few more nuanced choices you need to make. That meant there wasnвЂ™t any viable way for you as a consumer to change settings within the system using a smart app, something that competitor Shimano offered in their setups. It was only accessible externally via ANT+ with the ANT+ Gear Shifting protocol. Whereas in the past eTAP wasnвЂ™t actually enabled over Bluetooth Smart. From the shifters to the derailleurs, the power meter to the dropper post. Note in particular that the only groupset options are with a power meter, or with a crankset designed to add a power meter to it later.ДЄnd actually, if off-road there are two more things you can add:Д¦) And do you want the dedicated Reverb AXS controller for the dropperДЄll of those components listed above are connected via Bluetooth Smart now. The idea being that no matter what you choose for those four choices, everything is mix and match if you want it to be. Seriously, thatвЂ™s the only four core choices youвЂ™re getting here. In a nutshell, youвЂ™ve basically got four Monty Python style choices to make:ДЎ) Bars: Drop or Tri/TT (this dictates which shifters)Дў) Brakes: Disc or traditional rim (this also dictates shifters/brakes)ДЈ) Drivetrain: 1x or 2x (1x would be common for off-road, whereas 2x is more common on-road), and also if you want it aero or notД¤) Power meter: Integrated or later upgradeable WhyвЂ™d you want to do that though? Well, gravel. By that, I mean you can actually blend road bike parts and mountain bike parts together from an electronics standpoint. The shift is more towards a cohesive ecosystem where all the parts work together, even if you want to build something funky. ThereвЂ™s no вЂmechanicalвЂ™ shifting version of RED anymore. But itвЂ™s also beyond that too, this new groupset is *only* offered in an eTAP wireless shifting configuration. Of course, by now you know that the most talked about change is the shift from 11-speed cassettes to 12-speed cassettes. With that, onto the tech details and photos.
