Depending on how you set it up, you're looking at around 1,600-grams for a single-ring drivetrain and a $1,990 USD price tag. What about 11-speed XTR Di2? Keep in mind that Shimano released their wired electronic drivetrain four years ago so it's a bit dated at this point, and it's down a cog as well. AXS does cost $500 USD more, but you're not paying for the weight loss - you're paying for the wireless control. There's a bit of weight saved by not having to use a steel cable and housing, and the clip-on battery is just 25-grams. At 1,451-grams for all of the components, AXS XX1 is actually 5-grams lighter than cable-operated XX1, despite the batteries. It's not apples to apples, but let's compare AXS XX1 to its mechanical counterpart when it comes to price and weight. Here's the $2,000 USD box and what comes inside of it when you buy the Eagle AXS XX1 group whole.
