Harness your inner pro 52/39, 54/41, and 56/43 all available on Red AXS

On the 56/43 the inner ring is almost as big as the outer ring that ships on most SRAM builds (46/33) !

As reported by cycling weekly, SRAM is releasing 3 new chainrings of „Red“ Level, all of which are equipped with Quarq PM. They are absolutely massive at 52/39, 54/41 and 56/43. The latter is probably only for TT use, but that is very interesting as well, with no TT ring available so far! …

It is as big as the Wide ring (43/30)

It requires a new FD and I have yet to hear anything about new cassettes… 11-34 anyone? First product I was able to find: [image] Red AXS Powermeter Kit Features - Sram AXS Powermeter Kit Inklusive SRAM RED eTap AXS 2-fach Umwerfer Die X-Range-Übersetzungstechnologie bietet dir me…

Im still waiting to see the nickel plated force cassettes that were announced a while ago. theyre on the sram website but havent seen anywhere selling them

I guess when paired with a 10 tooth cog they’re massive. But otherwise I agree. I run a 52-36 and definitely wouldn’t consider myself anything close to a pro.

thats florida where overpasses count as HC :slight_smile:

When commenting on what makes a gear big or not, you should understand first, that gears always work in pairs A 200tooth chainring would look huge! But if you have a 300 tooth cog, it is still a tiny gear… The SRAM cassettes are basically 1 fewer tooth for each comparable cog, compared to a 11s or…

Gears work in pairs. The equivalent of your Semi-Compact 11s is a 48/35 on SRAM AXS. The smallest of chainring of the new AXS Pro chainrings is a 52/39, which is 8.3% larger gears than a Semi Compact. That would be bigger than a 56/40 on your Cassette, does that sound pro?

Since when is a 52 “absolutely massive”?

Heck, even the 54 is only 1 tooth more than what used to be the standard.
