The new SRAM Red components have been designed with the twin goals of eliminating the superfluous while focusing on an overall synergy. This is a new groupset with a fresh new approach to everything, 6 brand new components make the new SRAM Red the pinnacle of road racing technology. The new SRAM Red Front Derailleur changes everything. Instead of simply moving back & forth, the derailleur cage actually rotates to maintain a consistent angular relationship with the chain. SRAM call it Yaw Technology, & it eliminates the need for shifter trim. As a result, shifts feel more direct, more precise, & combined with the new RED crankset & chainrings, delivers an unmatched performance advantage in front shifting. Key Features Yaw cage rotates in line with chain, improving the shifting speed & precision while eliminating the need for shifter trim. Slim spring design eliminates frame interference. Optimized for shifting with X Glide R Chainrings. Best combination of aluminium & steel for the strongest & most durable cage SRAM have ever made. Precision install markings. Integrated chain spotter protects your frame without adding any extra clunk, & adjusts independently of the derailleur itself. Clamp Type: Braze-On only (b&-on clamps available separately). Weight: 74g (Manufactures claimed).
