In this episode of the BikeRadar Podcast, Simon von Bromley is joined by Warren Rossiter to discuss all the features packed into SRAM's new Red XPLR AXS groupset.

Warren shares his thoughts on the new groupset and shines a light on why he rated it 4.5 stars out of 5.

The pair also delve into the details of the new Zipp 303 XPLR wheels, which feature a gaping 32mm internal rim width.

While Warren says they perform well, it brings up the topic of stricter tyre compatibility.
