Are there any users here who have first hand experience with both Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8150 and SRAM Force eTap AXS (both 12 speed, latest version)? I am contemplating getting the new Canyon Aeroad CF SLX 8, and these bikes come in two builds that are identical in all aspects except the groupsets,…

I’ve had the same debate on the exact same bikes. I’ve come up with 2 answers. Team Shimano since it appears that replacement parts or making any changes to the groupset is more cost effective all else being equal (no idea if this is actually true). But my real answer is … which ever bike becomes …

Sram is 2watts slower due to chain. Sram power meter is better then shimano in everyway. I am not sure if quarq sells a dzero for 12s

Some people like the hoods better from one brand. But it‘s a personal thing and depends on anatomy (try it if you can).

I work in a bike shop, and while I haven’t ridden the Canyons, I’ve ridden a lot of groupsets in the last few weeks… In terms of non-biased facts, the Shimano is more efficient than the SRAM, mostly due to the SRAM flat top chain and the 10t cog. So, if you’re concerned with gaining every small adv…

OP said the Shimano build had a 4iii power meter. There are no major issues with those. If you have a Garmin bike computer, Shimano Di2 allows you to control the screens from buttons on the hoods. As others have mentioned, testing has shown Shimano chains to be more efficient probably saving you mor…
