Heavy Sram RED Shifter

[Darmen]

Hi

i wondering why my red shifter 22 c2 weight 302g.

Its 20g more than claimed weight

hereis some photo of the weight

any suggestion what's gone wrong?

I only have older sets - these are all quite close to the stated weight. Same for the front and derailleurs.

Maybe someone else has put a newer set on a set of scales?

I've seen that too on other posts, the weird thing is the Rival shifter tend to go lighter, 325g on this post: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=154636

Wow thanks, can you weight the clamp and the hood?

Wow thats light for rival shifter.

I feel cheated with my red shifter, its almost same as force shifter at half price

My force 10s shifters are 327gr

My red 10s shifters are 285-290gr (i forgot).

Sorry, the hoods I don't want to possibly damage - but I have a spare set from 2017, a tad lighter than yours.

The clamps seem to be the same.

thanks a lot, 5 g from hood and clamp

i'm beginning to suspect that the seller used force body red lever, is that possible?

[Marin]

AFAIK the bodies are the same across all shifters?

Force also uses a heavier shifter body. Exact same internals.

dudemanppl said Force uses a heavier shifter body. Exact same internals.

[jeanjacques]

The body seem identical, only difference is alloy speed lever on Force and some ti screw on Red. As the last poste said (thread above), maybe the brake lever on Force is composit and carbon on Red. We look at less than 10g difference, so it can't have big difference.

[alcatraz]

Red has different shifter body, clamp, shift lever. What else?

Lighter hoods?

[SQUICCHI]

I use the Sram Force shifter, I need to check how heavy they are!

[dudemanppl]

Clamps are the same between both, only the shift lever and body are different.
