The Best Road Bikes with SRAM Force AXS in 2023

Experienced cyclist turned writer with 7+ years working in bike shops, overseeing retail and workshop operations.
Updated:

The SRAM Force eTap AXS is a mid-tier, 12-speed, wireless electronic shifting groupset. 

It sits above the Rival eTap AXS and below the Red eTap AXS in SRAM’s lineup. It inherits all the features of the Red eTap AXS. The main difference is the materials used and the manufacturing process, which results in a lower price.

For 2023 road bikes, many brands have built their mid-tier bikes with SRAM Force eTap AXS as an alternative to the 12-speed Shimano Ultegra Di2 (R8100).

The SRAM Force eTap AXS retails for between $2,400 to $2,500, depending on the configuration. A fully built bike with SRAM Force eTap AXS ranges between $6,000 to $9,500, depending on the bike brand, frame material, wheelset, tires, and other components.
