Hi guys, I have been trying to find a definite answer to my question but have been finding conflicting information. I have a Cannondale Synapse Carbon with the BB30 bottom bracket that came with the FSA Gossamer crank and I would like to upgrade it to another BB30 crank. I placed an order for a SRAM Red Exogram 50/34 but after some reading, I've found out that the crank was for a 10 speed drivetrain? My bike is an 11 speed with the following components:
FD: Shimano 105
RD: Shimano Ultegra 6800
Cassette: Shimano 105
Chain: Shimano Ultegra 6800
I know that SRAM has the Red 22 crank that was designed for their newer 11 speed drivetrain, however this is my question:
Will the older SRAM Red Exogram crank be compatible with my 11 speed setup? Or would I have been better off with the Red 22?
I've read that the crank design between the two are nearly identical with slight differences in the chainrings, however they have the same gaps between the two rings? I am a bit confused and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Awesome! Thank you for the quick reply. I was worried I might have to return it and get the Red 22. Your bike looks great btw!
Likewise....I'm on DA 9000 but using a sram red 10 speed (set in a quarq) crank.....works fine I can't tell the difference between the 11 speed one and the 10 speed one shift wise (yep, I have 2 ). You'll be fine
Updated: Racing again! Thought this was unlikely! Eventually, I may even have a decent race!
