They also now are stronger, making them approved for heavier riders up to 115kg with gear. That’s actually a 20kg increase over the RS, which should be confidence-inspiring to riders looking to push these beyond ultralight XC race bikes. 105 may have made gears mechanical again, but there is no return to rim brakes, unfortunately.
Oh yea, almost for sure….but every little bit hurts or helps. Unless you’re a racer, you won’t be seeing the traditional 53/39T chainset specced on many bikes these days, so it’s no surprise it’s not even an option in the 105 line-up. For 12-speed these levers are the only option, so 105 isn’t compatible with cable-operated brakes.

There isn’t a huge amount of competition either; well, at least not on a like for a like basis. SRAM’s road groupsets are now all eTap AXS, or in other words electronic. In fact, the only mechanical groupset SRAM offers in road or gravel ranges is the Apex XPLR. Being gravel-focused, though, it’s only available in a 1x setup.
The shifting is as clean and crisp as ever, and as the 11-speed version is only marginally slower and less precise than its high-end Ultegra mechanical sibling, that is nothing to be sniffed at. Ultegra has since gone Di2-only, so comparisons with the new groupset aren’t possible anymore. Riding this 12-speed version alongside the 11-speed blindfolded, you’d never tell the difference unless you counted the rear changes from one side of the cassette to the other. Though by the time you got to 12, you’d probably have other things on your mind anyway, such as whether the paramedics would take the blindfold off for you without laughing. Fully made back at homebase in Germany, the new Bike Ahead BiTurbo RSX wheels get wider for modern riding with new 33mm internal width. Plus, they even made them lighter, although saving only twenty grams.
