The new advancement of SRAM RED is a super enhancement of the groupset, it has new lever form, new brake hands, roters cut, weight saving improvements, ceramic pulleys for new visuals and considerable enhancement on front shifting. They do come with a bundled head unit, but do not offer the crank separately or the cassette. The new groupset introduces an advanced infrastructure which includes a wireless shift system and adds instantaneous hydraulic brake control, which completely changes the way it was before.

Comparisons to the new drops by WheelTop, Magene and LTwoo. I'm sure SRAM have tested it to death, the Chinese offerings are still ironing out issues. But still too expensive.

Ugg---still integrating the power meter into the chainring. So stupid and and waste of money. Sram should have made the power meter portion separate from the consumable chainring.

At least finally only 1 FD.  So you can run 46 and up to the 56.  Finally like the good ol days.  Last version was terrible for that and too expensive having to buy a new FD for people who run 52+
