"When Shimano launched the new XTR and XT Di2 groupsets, the shift speed was one of the most significant selling points; however, a lack of a solid clutch left a stain on the launch. Riders had to choose between fast shifts or an active clutch if they wanted a modern electronic drivetrain. However, the latest firmware update from SRAM appears to resolve this slow-shifting issue, bringing joy to many."
"Those with SRAM AXS T-Type derailleurs and Pod shifters can now update to the latest firmware version (2.53.1) via the AXS app and finally get shift speeds similar to SRAM XPLR AXS drivetrains, which are known to shift much faster than mountain bike drivetrains. To update your drivetrains, simply open the AXS app (ensure you have the latest version installed), connect each component, and then install the newest firmware individually. You should notice significantly quicker shift speeds."
Many riders experienced slow shifting with SRAM AXS T-Type drivetrains, causing frustration when gears changed slowly. Shimano XTR and XT Di2 offered fast electronic shifts but lacked a robust clutch, forcing a trade-off between shift speed and chain stability. Firmware 2.53.1 for SRAM AXS T-Type derailleurs and Pod shifters increases shift speeds to levels comparable with SRAM XPLR AXS drivetrains. Users can update each component via the AXS app by connecting components and installing the newest firmware individually. The drivetrain software recognizes the number of ramps on each cassette cog and adjusts shift speed accordingly, suggesting ramp geometry did not prevent faster shifts.
