"Leaked Photos Reveal Next-Gen SRAM Red AXS Groupset"
Leaked images reveal a new SRAM Red AXS groupset featuring updated rear derailleur, cassette, chain, hydraulic disc brake calipers, and rotors, with a focus on weight reduction through hollowed-out designs. The prototype shifters spotted in a patent last November are confirmed to be part of the new groupset, and the groupset is expected to maintain 12-speed gearing. The new design suggests a potential focus on cutting weight to compete as the lightest electronic road bike groupset available, with similarities to SRAM's XX SL Eagle Transmission rear derailleur and potential improvements to braking technology.
