To be fair, my limited experience with SRAM drivetrains (ancient GripShift notwithstanding) comes from demo bikes several years ago where I wasn't exactly impressed with GX. AXS seems cool and all, but $$$. I did however, just recently go to an XD driver & SunRace cassette on my 11spd FS bike as I had cut some pretty deep notches in the oe HG carrier. I've been told that the XD design is far superior in that regard. We'll see how it holds up over time.
