SRAM set the bar for road shifting performance when they introduced the RED group a few years back. This new drivetrain group quickly made it's way on to not only Pro-Tour bikes but also on the bikes of riders who desire the highest performance possible.
The 2013 RED Front Derailleur is a completely new design that borrows nothing from the previous version, because the cable actuation is completely new it
is not interchangeable with crank sets or shifters other than the new ''13 RED Group.
The action of the front derailleur instead of just simply pivoting back and forth, the derailleur cage actually rotates to maintain a consistent angular relationship with the chain. SRAM calls it Yaw Technology, and it eliminates the need for shifter trim.
We today''s carbon frames a dropped chain can mean more than just some paint rub. SRAM is the first company to from the factory include an integrated K-Edge Style chain keeper.
