SRAM historically has been very minimal with sale prices compared to Shimano and was especially critical of Shimono when SRAM dealers could get Shimano at online retailers cheaper than what I could get it direct. It’s partially what fueled bike shops to push only SRAM and hate the other S.
Anyways, I noticed starting 2 to 3 weeks ago that all the sudden all the the stuff was on sale from the European retailers and you can get AXS GX for under $500 for the upgrade kit. And from legit sites too. I may have even picked one up myself.
Anyways, what gives? New lines coming out? Too much inventory because it is overpriced at normal retail?
 
Some bike brands putting their stuff on sale as well. Ibis, Revel and Yeti for sure. Maybe one of the shops that carry those brands could offer a theory.
 
Hmmmm… I was just considering upgrading my GX Eagle conventional shiftnderail to X01. Under $500 AXS seems like a nobrainer in this instance.

Does anyone know if the AXS upgrade kit come with the BGap Adjustment Tool?

Yes it does. I got the GX AXS set from a European retailer that came with everything as if you got it from a US retailer for over $200 less out the door (shifter, derailleur, battery, charger, multi-tool, and gap tool).

The sites that have the stock probably had huge orders that just got fulfilled. And now they have a huge stock and need to offload. Just my theory
