And just like that, a week from details being leaked about Shimano's Dura Ace future 11 speed group, here is the leaked report of SRAM's newly redesigned Red 2013.
Seems like SRAM is going to stick with 10 speed for now, but Red does shed a lot of weight (reported 250-280g), making it the most lightweight group available.
Seems like a lot of the parts are getting a makeover. Starting with the brake lever body. According to Bikeradar.com, the newly shaped lever body is going to be more comfortable and offer a more secure handle.
Bikeradar also points out that there will be some interesting changes to the front derailleur, and the crankset. Everything is geared towards faster, more efficient shifting, while keeping as light as possible.
Well this to me is exciting, as it's one more great competitor in the race to make the lightest, most efficient, and most usable groupset. Whether you are a Campy guy like me, or a Shimano guy, there is no denying that SRAM has really stepped up to the plate and has put some remarkable products on the market for both mountain and road bikes.
