All-change for new flagship road group, but what about discs?
This article originally appeared on BikeRadar

Following up on our recent exposé on the upcoming 2013 Shimano Dura-Ace mechanical and Di2 groups comes some new insider information on what SRAM apparently has planned for the next generation of its flagship Red group. Even if just a portion of this information is correct, it seems that MY2013 is rapidly heating up for high-end road customers.

According to Cyclingnews’ exclusive sources, SRAM’s next-gen Red group will stick with its current 10-speed configuration but that’s about the only thing that’s unchanged.

First and foremost is a new DoubleTap lever body shape, which will supposedly sprout a more pronounced knob up front to provide a more secure handhold – similar to what Campagnolo does with its Ergopower levers based on what we’ve been told – along with customizable gel padding beneath the hoods that will allow riders to tune the feel of their controls.
