New Sram Red
Moderator: robbosmans
Lighter with battery, basically all the weight saving comes from shifter and rear derailleur
crank is pretty much the same, only different graphic. and DUB only

basically it will be lighter than current Dura-Ace 12 speed disc groupset
no more different front derailleur for bigger chainring (52T up)
improved front shifting
might be sold with Hammerhead computer as a bundle

Many of us ride 3rd party cranks, and the heaviest part of Shimano is the crank. It's the only reason currently the weights are comparable at all.
Shimano DA group with D1 crank has been 200g lighter than a Sram group with the same crank.
Heck, Ultegra with D1 cranks is closer in weight to Red with D1 cranks.
You will see the new SRAM Red at the Tour of Flanders
