Here it is.....the BRAND NEW SRAM RED 2x grouppo. This comes with the power meter and the all new and improved Hammerhead Karoo cycling computer. The group comes in at a whopping 2496grams (153 grams lighter than the previous groupset). This is now the LIGHTEST electronic 2x road group on the market.
SRAM has redesigned the lever/hood shape. They've reduced the circumference, and made the levers even more comfortable. They have 'bonus buttons' that can be used to shift (default) but can also be programmed to work with the Hammerhead Karoo, or ????? The levers have reach adjustment and 4 position contact adjustment. They allow for 1 finger braking from the hoods - using 80% less effort. They also use 66% less effort from the drops. They did this by changing the pivot location and the piston layout.
The new calipers and rotors are lighter and stiffer. They still use DOT fluid. The rotors are a 2 piece design with an aluminum carrier and they changed the brake track a bit. Centerlock only. Same ol' brake pads. They shaved 83 grams from the brakes.
The crank is all new, and has an all new carbon layup. It is 29g lighter, still features the 8 bolt mounting interface, and only comes in DUB. It will be available down to a 160mm. BB is NOT included in the groupset.

The new RED chain still has hollow pins and has new inner and outer link cutouts, dropping 13g.

The new rear derailleur comes in 1 length, with a longer cage and they added 2 teeth to the aluminum pulley (not a magic pulley). The rear derailleur is 16g lighter.
