Is SRAM RED good?
It works well, but only when properly set up, which can take some extra time and skill. Red cranks continue to use normal-looking spiders and five-bolt chainrings.

How much does the SRAM RED 22 cost?
Beyond the weight/price story — 1,741g and $2,618 / £2,120 for the complete group — the big news with Red 22 is the wealth of options. Read our reviews on the Red 22 hydraulic rim brake and the Red 22 hydraulic disc brakes for details on SRAM’s new Hydro R options.
