Greetings from Cooper at Cadence Cyclery in Encinitas! Today, I'm thrilled to delve into the exciting features of the new SRAM Red AXS group set. Strap in, because this upgrade is packed with game-changing improvements.
First off, let's talk about the revamped hood and lever design. SRAM has reimagined the shape, enhancing both comfort and aesthetics. But it doesn't stop there. The caliper has undergone a significant transformation, shedding excess weight while increasing clearance between the pads and rotor. This tweak not only reduces that annoying hydraulic group set ticking but also improves braking efficiency. With a redesigned piston layout, braking effort is minimized, making it a breeze to stop—whether you're on the hoods or in the drops.
Moving on to the derailleur, while its appearance may resemble the previous generation, don't be fooled. SRAM has managed to trim down its weight while boosting shift performance. Plus, they've added pulley teeth to the jockey wheels, further refining the shifting experience. But the real magic happens when it syncs up with the redesigned front derailleur.
complete with an Auto Trim feature and revamped yaw mechanism. Say goodbye to sloppy shifts—this duo delivers crisp and precise gear changes every time.
Now, let's talk cassettes. The new Red cassette remains largely similar to its predecessor but now offers a 36-tooth option, aligning it more closely with the Force line.
As for the crank, it's not just a pretty face. SRAM has fine-tuned the power meter design, resulting in a sleeker appearance. And with increased options in crank length, you can tailor your setup to your preferences. Tying it all together is the brand-new SRAM Red chain. Featuring completely hollow links, it offers a lightweight yet durable solution for your drivetrain needs. And here's the kicker—it's fully compatible with both the previous generation Red and Force components. Want to mix and match? Go for it. SRAM's got you covered. But wait, there's more!
SRAM isn't just about drivetrains. They've also unveiled the Hammerhead Karoo computer—a sleek device boasting extended battery life, a vibrant display, and redesigned battery placement. The perfect companion for your SRAM group set. So, there you have it—the latest and greatest from SRAM. Here at Cadence Cyclery, we've got a selection of these group sets in stock. Have any questions? Feel free to reach out.
What’s up, folks? We took a deep dive—err, ride—into the 2025 Belgian Waffle Ride California course with none other than Lance Haidet.
Meet Amelia Durst, a cyclist with an inspiring journey that began not on two wheels but with running shoes pounding the pavement. Amelia’s story is a testament to discovery, persistence, and embracing the unexpected—qualities that have defined her path to becoming a privateer racer with an ambitious 2025 schedule.
Otherwise known as "The Hell of the North Desert," if the creative vernacular hasn't impressed you, the course certainly will. We strapped a GoPro on Lance Haidet to give you a little rider POV of the first dirt section of the 2025 Belgian Waffle Ride Arizona.
