Force AXS Complete Bike

If you’re looking for the maximum in technology and value, take a long look at the ALLROAD with our SRAM Force AXS build. It features the same wireless shifting and electronics platform as the cost-is-no-object Red AXS. But by foregoing Red’s costliest upgrades -- think ceramic bearings, extraordinary finishes, and featherweight hardware (the weight difference between groups is 300g total) -- you save a mint. The Reynolds ATR carbon wheelset is burly enough for gravel, but light and aero enough for criterium racing. And the Easton cockpit is identical to what you get on the Red AXS build.

The ALLROAD is a legitimate road racing machine. Put 25c tires on, and no watt goes wasted. It’s plenty light for epic climbs, it’s designed to deliver beefy stiffness under power, yet it has a gentle ease on chip seal. But put 35c tires on it and you’ll discover its alter ego -- a ripping-fast gravel bike easily capable of managing dirt hardpack and moderate rock. The ALLROAD is our Swiss Army Knife of bikes. Again and again we marvel at how dynamic it is at balancing road agility with off-road stability.

A question we’re asked everyday is “ALLROAD or ABLE?” Both bikes offer heaps of versatility, but each has different leanings. If you’re looking for a bike capable of navigating steep, rock-intensive terrain -- including chunky gravel -- then you’ll want to choose the ABLE. But if your daily dirt is perhaps a bit less-rugged, such as dirt county roads and marble-like gravel, then the ALLROAD is unquestionably the best choice.
