120 km in gruppo sulle strade dell’isola di Maiorca, in Spagna, per saggiare le qualità del nuovo top di gamma della Casa di Chicago. Come va? È ancora più fluido e veloce della versione Red 2011, così l’hanno chiamata i tecnici, grazie anche alle guaine Gore ride-on. Si impugna meglio di prima, il design dei coprileve è di nuova generazione, e le leve più lunghe consentono ottime cambiate anche con le mani sulla presa bassa della piega. Ottimo il deragliatore Yaw, che è più rigido, preciso e ha solo due movimenti: tutto su o tutto giù, non c’è più il trim intermedio. Ottimo anche il cambio, fluido e silenzioso accoppiato alla nuova cassetta, più silenziosa e leggera. Il servizio completo sul fascicolo di Ciclismo di marzo 2012.

The new SRAM RED ErgoDynamics™ Shifters represent our most advanced thinking yet on perfecting the interface between rider and bike. We have scrutinized everything, including the transition between handlebar and hoods, the grip texture, finger wrap, and the separate interfaces with both the shifter and brake lever.
• ErgoDynamic™ design: best in class control & comfort
• New reach adjustment to fit all hands • DoubleTap® and ZeroLoss™ mechanisms for smooth and precise shifting The SRAM RED rear derailleur is designed with our Exact Actuation™ technology for precise, efficient shifting. We have paid rapt attention to the finer details, like adding a hollow titanium anchor bolt and even refining tooth geometry of the jockey wheel.
• Exact Actuation™: fast and accurate shifting
• New AeroGlide™ jockey wheels for silent performance
• New cage and body design for improved cassette clearance
Instead of simply moving back and forth, the SRAM RED derailleur cage actually rotates to maintain a consistent angular relationship with the chain. We call it Yaw™ Technology, and it eliminates the need for shifter trim.
• Revolutionary Yaw™ Technology eliminates trim
• Fast and precise optimized shifting
• Refined materials for stiff and lightweight cage
The new SRAM Red Powerdome X™ is the most advanced cassette ever made. It is super light, deadly silent, and delivers an undeniable performance advantage. The eight cogs in the middle are machined from a single block of high grade tool steel, increasing stiffness while weighing even less than a titanium cassette. Between each cog in the block is a StealthRing™ elastomer to reduce vibration and noise.
• Super light 10 speed hollow steel dome construction
• StealthRing™ elastomers for silent ride
• Aluminum large cog and super durable finish
The new SRAM Red Exogram™ Crankset is completely hollow all the way to the spider. Its hidden bolt pattern makes better use of carbon fiber to further improve stiffness and shed weight. The stunning X Glide™ chainrings are optimized for use with the Yaw™ Technology in the front derailleur, delivering seamless, flawless performance.
• Featherweight Exogram™ hollow carbon construction
• X Glide R™ chainrings: advanced shifting technology
• Hidden bolt for increased strength and stiffness
The new SRAM Red Brakeset has been created with a host of wind-cheating features to make the brake body more aerodynamic. The new patented AeroLink™ arm reduces frontal area while improving braking performance and modulation.
• AeroLink™ arm: improved modulation and high power
• Sleek profile and aero barrel adjuster
• Aero indexed 4-position quick release
A lighter, more accurate power meter completely integrated with the philosophy and performance of SRAM RED. The sleek new geometry reduces system weight and delivers clearance for oversized frames and aerodynamic chainrings. Integrated electronics minimize interconnections and reduce exposure to the elements, bringing unmatched durability and reliability.
• Lightweight and +/- 1.5% accuracy
• Integrated electronics = maximum reliability
• Ease-of-use: Visible ID, LED indicator, replaceable battery
• OmniCal™: Fit TT chainrings without recalibration
The newest PC 1091R chain features more heavily chamfered outer plates for improved shifting and quieter running. The HollowPin™ construction of SRAM‘s 10 speed PowerChain™ provides smooth, precise shifting and weight savings without sacrificing strength.
• HollowPin™ technology equals strength, incredible
shifting efficiency, and light weight
• 255 grams, 114 links
• PowerLock™ connector, easiest install in the world
