What is the main difference between these two bikes, and which one offers better value for money?
[Grizl CF SL 7 eTap](https://www.canyon.com/en-lt/gravel-bikes/adventure/grizl/cf-sl/grizl-cf-sl-7-etap/3474.html?dwvar_3474_pv_rahmenfarbe=R095_P07) (2.799 Eur)
[Grizl CF SL 6 AXS](https://www.canyon.com/en-lt/gravel-bikes/adventure/grizl/cf-sl/grizl-cf-sl-6-axs/3696.html?dwvar_3696_pv_rahmenfarbe=R095_P10) (2.499 Eur)
Obviously the main difference between them is the group set which is *SRAM Rival XPLR eTap AXS* vs the new *SRAM Apex XPLR AXS.*
I’ve read that there is a very small difference between these group sets, e.g.: “The only real differences across the groupset are in material choices and finish, which has a small bearing on the overall weight.” ([https://www.bikeradar.com/reviews/components/groupsets/gravel-groupset/sram-apex-axs-xplr-review/](https://www.bikeradar.com/reviews/components/groupsets/gravel-groupset/sram-apex-axs-xplr-review/))
Other changes that I’ve spotted is that Grizl CF SL 7 eTap have a better seatpost and a saddle, but other than that the bikes look identical with same frame and same wheels.
So the question is, are there any other differences between the two to consider? Because now Grizl CF SL 6 AXS looks like a better bang for the buck to me
