The bottom line is that I really want a 2x12 mechanical SRAM Force/ Red groupset.
Possibly but I still doubt it is going away soon. Long term possibly but I really doubt that.

I hate DoubleTap so I welcome AXS from SRAM luckily I generally prefer Shimano for my road stuff so not a problem but even there I do prefer Di2. If they could figure out the ergonomics of the SRAM levers along with the brake lever being just a brake lever and have some way to shift both gears that isn't DoubleTap I would want a mechanical road group again but honestly road electronics are excellent. For flat bar stuff mechanical is still fine flat bar shifters are excellent all over from trigger to thumbies so not a problem.
