Like the original, the new 2023 SRAM Force AXS is a 12-speed wireless road bike groupset.

In fact, changes from the previous-generation groupset have been small, and mostly to the shifters, the 2x crankset and the front derailleur. The good news is the price hasn’t changed.

SRAM has sent us a complete groupset to test, but before riding off into the sunset using it, we’ve weighed all the individual parts. If, however, you do want to know what it’s like to ride off into the sunset with the groupset in Portugal, read our SRAM Force AXS first ride review.

SRAM Force AXS is pitched against Shimano Ultegra 12-speed. We’ve previously weighed Ultegra component-by-component, so we’ve compared the weights of the two groupsets here.
