Sea Otter: New road goodies from SRAM

Zipp now offers a SRAM-compatible version of its integrated chicane aero bar extensions.

  • This is perhaps the OG-1090 cassette's best side.
  • The new Rival DoubleTap levers receive a lot of Red features, including the adjustable reach.
  • The SRAM Rival group has received substantial upgrades including carbon fiber brake lever blades.
  • All Rival cranks will now be hollow-forged. The 2-D forged solid-armed version will disappear.
  • All Rival components will get a new gloss black finish.
  • Rival brake calipers are unchanged
  • Force levers get the same Red-like shape updates as Rival.
  • The Red crankset will now be available in a BB30-compatible version.
  • The larger diameter means a lighter aluminium but still stiffer spindle can be used instead of stee
  • Specialized doesn't actively say that its integrated crank frames use BB30, but here's the evidence
  • The OG-1090 cassette starts as a 10lb ingot of steel before it's chewed up by a CNC machine.
  • Flat bar road shifters use DoubleTap single lever actuation. The 10 speed version has carbon parts
  • The 9 speed flat bar shifter could be the heart of an ultralight mountain bike setup
  • New SRAM TT offerings include the aluminum-levered TT 500 shifter and brake lever.
  • Zipp now offers a SRAM-compatible version of its integrated chicane aero bar extensions.
  • The Zipp SL bar: still 165g but now available in a short and shallow or traditional round bend
  • The Zipp SLC2 bar adds just 20g but is compatible with clip-on aero bars.
  • The Contour carries on with its ergonomically shaped tops.
  • Zipp will carry on as SRAM's high-end wheels but it won't be long before we see a less spendy range
