Cool, but shocking. Black red? Did a high end group set right or better red? All looks nice, and kudos to SRAM for pulling it all together for both Red and Force, but it does raise a nagging concern:. Did anyone else notice the Zipp disc brake wheels? Oh goody, goody, goody. Other than the price likely being way out of my range, having to carry around a useless 25T cog would keep me with my speed set-up.
Also, lack of 54T and 42T chainrings. The new Force group will look great on one of those matte black salute to fascism builds that are oh so popular nowadays.
But seriously, who needs a 23? Get with the times, people. Sounds like a lot of whinging over nothing. SRAM have come to the 11s party. They have raised the bar with the introduction of Hydraulic brakes. I have just purchased 10s Red also. I dont believe in electronic shifting. Keep up the good work and innovations SRAM. I could only buy what was available at the time and I am happy with it.
No cassettes that begin with a 12t? Some ppl hardly ever use the 11t or maybe they live in a flat state like Florida , so why waste the extra gear you get from going to speed?
Just to say you have it? SRAM please make a 12 — 25 cassette. I will never need an 11 cog. Not compatible with XX1 is silly. That cassette and derailleur could be nice to use if the range suits you. Wanna buy back my red? It came out less than a year ago and is now obsolete. By the way, your new hood ergonomics are horrible. Will the Force 22 front derailleur work with the Force 10 speed left shifter and compact crank?
Would be nice to have that yaw adjustment to avoid those trim shifts and the chain watcher to avoid the chain drop that occurs too frequently with the current front derailleur. Good question about the zipp hubs taking 11spd cassette? Compatibility issues for the XD driver body would be hell for most wheel brands out there. I must say I am flabbergasted by many of the comments and questions posted which were clearly covered in the article.

Uh…S-Works Roubaix Disc? I know the 11S shimano one can have a spacer, but still Reply. Think I need to change my underwear! How significant is Zero Loss? More to the point, upshifts on Red requires less than half the lever travel of the current Dura-Ace generation. The only drawback we can think of here is that riders who might regularly swap back and forth between Red and Force or Rival may have some difficulties shifting the intended number of cogs.
The front shifter is now equipped with a outer chainring trim position, although SRAM has curiously eliminated the inner trim position in the process. Finally, users now have the option of running the derailleur housing on either the front or back of the handlebar a la all but the earliest versions of Campagnolo Ergopower. Speaking of front derailleurs, the biggest change with Red is the new titanium cage which drops 30g compared to Force.
Cage flex is generally bad as far as front derailleurs go but in spite of that and the odd shape, the bit works as intended, even under power. Go figure. The rear derailleur remains functionally equivalent to Force in terms of shifting, but drops 31g courtesy of a carbon fibre inner link and more dramatically relieved aluminium outer link.
The newly included ceramic bearing-equipped pulleys supposedly spin with less friction than before. Save for the lockring and backing plate, the new cassette is made of good old-fashioned steel.
Instead of usual stack-of-plates arrangement, though, the PowerDome cassette is essentially just a hollowed-out cone with teeth on the outside courtesy of the magic CNC milling machine. A thick aluminium backing plate seals it all up and transfers the power into the freehub body. By Simon Smythe TZ.
According to SRAM the new groupset , available in rim and disc-brake formats, offers the key features of Red eTap AXS — modern gearing, advanced chain management and easy personalisation — in a more affordable package.
This marks a significant step forward for SRAM: previously eTap wireless shifting technology had only been available with the flagship Red groupset since the launch of the original version four years ago. The 1x version has chainrings ranging in size from t plus a 48t aero 1x chainring.
The same power meter spider can also be used to upgrade a Red 1x chainset, but not the Red 2x unit. SRAM had not supplied a price for the power meter upgrade at the time of going to press, but we'll update this with one when we get it.
The front and rear derailleurs have the same dark grey finish, as do the brake levers, and the disc brakes and rim brakes receive a minor makeover to match the look of the new groupset. And the gap in price between disc and rim-brake groupsets appears finally to be closing, though with a rim-brake set-up you'll still end up with a lighter bike.
