6061 All-Road XPLR AXS

“Riders looking to get a little more out of their All-Road bikes will most appreciate the snappy electronic shifting, increased braking performance, an ~1lb weight saving, and the endless upgradability of the SRAM’s mix-and-match AXS system, over the “stock” All-Road bikes. A new way to “Explore Your State” with a few more bells and whistles without breaking the bank!”

“The 6061 Black Label All-Road offers a race-ready gravel machine at an accessible price. Featuring a rugged 6061 aluminum frame w/ lightweight carbon fiber fork w/ plenty, the choice wheels (thru-axle): 700c with “slick” tires or 650b with knobby tires, a 12-speed SRAM AXS electronic drive-train, and hydraulic disc-brakes.”
