Bike Closet has some Force eTap groupset overstock deals - 1x or 2x road (HRD) groupsets in a few different configurations. I believe this is all 'D1', not the latest Force groupset that was just released.
These don't include chain, crankset, or cassette.
SRAM Force eTap AXS HRD 2x (6-bolt brakes) - $799

SRAM Force eTAP AXS HRD 1x (6-bolt brakes) - $599

Shipping is $10.
I'm thinking of grabbing the latest kit to get most of the parts I need to move my Rival Mechanical gravel bike over to wireless shifting, possibly pairing it with a Transmission rear derailleur and cassette. Or grabbing the 2x set to have on hand if I decide to build a new road bike... Decisions..

I would probably pair it with a Eagle GX RD and the whole MTB mullet thing if I was to do 1x12 on a gravel bike anyways...not fit enough* to keep pushing "only" 36T on the double and singletracks I regular in SoCal. This is too close where my 2x is at, but I get a nice 48/31 front to go with a 34T cassette and even that is long sometimes.
If I was going 1x, would like it to be 10-50T (srams ratio ramp spread is Meh @ lowest gears in the 10-50, but the 10-52 only makes it worse) rear with a 40 or 42T front to keep it versatile enough.
Would love this RD to be wider range to at least have some value selling ...I feel like there will be too many in the used market and not enough demand.
*unlike some godly good looking 👌 thigh-model stars in SD who can climb Arette (claimed 40deg / 80% slope) with fixie gearing 😉

Check some #s here. Don't think there is much to be saved, especially if you consider that you go from 11s to 12s.

Neither kit comes with a chainring/crankset or rear cassette. So you can put anything you want. Just make sure your chain is compatible with the speed of your cassette.
I have a 46/30 front crank while it's not as optimal as srams set up it works pretty darn well.
I paid a lot more for arrival, so this is a good deal…
