Wrong metric... this one equates a heavy, expensive part with a light, cheap one. An RD that weighed 1kg and sold for $890 would score the same as DA
You want weight SAVED/$, so you need to start with a reference point like DA or Ultegra...

Well I am very happy that I did not have to pay $300 for my Sram Red and I am glad that it did not come in at 153 as posted.
$216 for the Red Derailleur and 145g stock.

Here is my 122g Sram Red RD. I am getting a new part built at work in the machine shop but I think I might only get it down to 121g.

style points to djconnel for using "mass" instead of "weight". You made this physics geek smile.

Hi guys.
Anyone know this RD support 11 speed ?
Some company said it support up to 10 speed only.
But Lightweight claim it 11 speed compatible.
