L’Enfer du Nord SRAM Rival AXS XPLR
The SRAM Rival AXS XPLR build may be entry level in terms of wireless components from SRAM, but punches well above its price point. The XPLR components are designed specifically for gravel and this is a highly capable all-round machine. Ideal as the ‘next step up’ after an introduction to gravel bikes, or ridden as the ultra-reliable steed for the tech-savvy, this bike is a lot of fun.
Keeping componentry of this bike within the SRAM family to complete a cohesive spec gives us goodies from ZIPP.
