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 standard-setting surface finishes. Red’s holistic approach delivers unmatched responsiveness and optimized gruppo performance with innovative design and feel. Red is produced in limited runs for riders who truly appreciate and demand every possible advantage.
