Hello racing bike community, I want to buy a new aeroad but can't decide. I mostly ride 60-90 km long routes with little elevation gain, about 500-600m

Probably the Shimano version. Di2 still shifts a bit better.
Shimano all the time!
Personally i would get the CF SLX 8 AXS SPEED and sell the Zipp wheels and buy others for the money….
I prefer SRAM groupsets nowadays.
But tbh, both are amazing and choosing by color is as good of a reason as any other when deciding between those two bikes in my oppinion.
€500 more for the Zipp Wheels! That would be the determining factor for me.
The AXS any day.
Pace drop handlebars, Force Groupset, Zipp Wheels and a pretty paintjob – not much of a competition for me.
SRAM all day.
Im going with AXS. Paint job is nice too
AXS has interchangeable batteries
Shimano.
I personally don’t like hookless for road, so I’d get the di2 model, sell the heavy and narrow DT wheels and get some farsports wheels. I also don’t like bleeding sram brakes, but that’s only an issue if you do your own maintenance.
Shimano
Shimano always. Sram never does as well as Shimano does.
Sram is heavier and more expensive. It has no advantage.
I’ve had Sram AXS and Shimano Di2.
I like the simplicity of AXS, but shifting and especially break quality is definitely better with Di2.
Plus hookless rims are not for me.
SRAM
I was die hard Shimano until I got a Canyon with SRAM AXS, and will never go back.
SRAM is fully wireless and has interchangeable batteries as others have said. Riding a fixie because you can’t switch derailleur batteries is frustrating at best.
SRAM all day. Better wheels too
Whatever groupset you prefer. I would go with AXS, but thats personal preference
