What will the mechanics probably be cheering about: Sram is integrating the dropper post into the wireless AXS system. The motto: No cables, no fiddly internal wiring, simply simple assembly and disassembly. And for the user: Easy wireless release, stepless height adjustment, with a simple press of the thumb.

Nine months ago, the electronic Eagle groupset was first seen on Nino Schurter's bike. It is now ready for the market and will soon be available from specialist dealers. Alongside the groupset, Sram also presented the Reverb AXS, which, like the Eagle AXS, is operated electronically and wirelessly. We had the opportunity to take both parts for a short test ride.
