SRAM's recent patent suggests the development of advanced Zipp wheels featuring a new integrated "Smart Wheel Accessory" that goes beyond the current TyreWiz tire pressure sensor. This new design, embedded within the rim, aims to enhance aerodynamics and reduce interference from tire sealant. The smart accessory could potentially measure various data points such as tire pressure, wheel speed, and rim health, offering insights for product development and optimal ride conditions. However, the patent's approval and market release remain uncertain.

SRAM has introduced the Maven, its most powerful disc brake designed for downhill, enduro, and eMTB riders, claiming a 50% increase in power over its current downhill-oriented offering, the Code. The Maven uses mineral oil, features a new pad design, and offers longer service intervals compared to DOT fluid counterparts. The new caliper has more bolts, larger pads, and four large-diameter pistons to reduce power loss and manage extreme temperatures. The Maven brake should only need a full bleed and oil change every two years, and comes in four different models with prices ranging from £200 / $185 to £599 / $599.

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.

Ratio Technology has introduced a new upgrade kit, called 2x12SH, that allows riders to use Shimano's 12-speed road cassettes with SRAM 10- or 11-speed mechanical shifters. This kit bypasses the need for SRAM's XDR freehub standard, allowing riders to continue using their existing wheelset. The kit includes a 12SH Ratchet designed for Shimano's 12-speed cassettes and replacement pulley wheels for the rear derailleur. It is compatible with SRAM 10-speed shifters with the addition of a Ratio Cable Spool. The maximum tooth capacity is 32, and the kit is not recommended for use with Shimano 12-speed mountain bike cassettes or certain SRAM 10-speed derailleurs. This upgrade offers riders an up-to-date mechanical option without the need for a compatible wheelset.
