When the pursuit of victory becomes so focused and singleminded that nothing else matters. Inspired by the search for competition-vanquishing advantages, SRAM has created a world where high-performance race-ready componentry is taken one step beyond. SRAM Red is a living lab focused on the design, development, and improvement of alreadyrevolutionary technology. Red components are crafted with three major ideas in mind:
Light weight: Engineered materials with a balanced minimalist design. The first true sub-2000g gruppo!
Higher efficiency: Component interaction, customizability and adjustment, feel, geometry, ergonomics, and fine-tuned gear ranges mean you go faster, longer, with less energy.
Advanced materials: From materials like carbon, titanium, and ceramic bearings all the way to standardsetting surface finishes.
The cassette is vastly different from other SRAM cassettes with their Power Dome technology. Innovative CNC'd chromoly steel construction provides a huge improvement on weight, and with being 35% harder than titanium, this is one durable cassette! As with SRAM's other cassettes, the OpenGlide technology allows for the smoother transition between gears while up- and down-shifting.
SRAM Red road groupset include:
FASTER. ALWAYS FASTER. IF THIS IS YOUR MANTRA,
