Meanwhile.. I'm enjoying my loud and slow mechanical 2012 Campag Chorus 11 spd groupset on my 2012 Giant rim brake bike (weight = 6.82kg with pedals) crossing the finish line in 101st place.... whilst not worrying to charge another battery last night. If only I had this groupset...I could have made the top 100... the utter disappointment... will take it up with my mental coach next week on how to work through this ordeal...

Expensive but impressive. Force and Rival will follow. The extra cost for Red is also in the Hammerhead Karoo that is included in the bundle. It can be purchased without the Karoo but the launch groups have it bundled in.

its been a busy year over at SRAM headquarters

Bike 24 has individual pricing.
If I want to replace only the shifters and the derailleur on my bike, R40k give or take.

That is a lot of moola in the greater scheme of things.

 

Not doubt though, they will sell a lot of these things.

Hopefully it will trickle down to force and rival quite soon...

 

Did I misread, but I did not see a semi compact (52-36) crankset option?

54-41

52-39

50-37

48-35

46-33

 

they use a 13t jump to ease the strain on the front derailleur and that helps battery life quite a lot. 
with the bigger cassettes available now I reckon the 52-39 would be my choice with the 10-33 cassette 

I use 52-38 currently with 11-28 11 speed and I use the whole cassette around CoCT and surrounding areas

yeah cool but does the front derailleur work yet?

I haven't confirmed, but I read that its between Dura-Ace and Super Record EPS (with Power Meter).

As D&D says, Red AXS includes the Hammerhead.

I wouldn't go and put 'Value for Money' in the sentence, but that is a nice value add (if you want the computer)

I imagine that the 1st batch to hit our shores are already pre-sold.

Price also includes the Red Axs quarq power meter crank. There will be a groupset option without power meter although if I had the cash I’d just get it with the quarq because they just work.

I think the ones that were won was done on 1x systems

[DieselnDust]

So good. A front derailleur is just a nice to have

Are these chainrings one piece? Meaning you can't replace them separately?
