SRAM has today announced a new WiFLi rear derailleur for its RED eTap groupset. The new SRAM RED eTap WiFLi rear derailleur will be available from December to be used with either the new RED eTap HRD disc groupset or RED eTap groupset.
The SRAM RED eTap WiFLi rear derailleur accommodates either 11-30 and 11-32 PowerGlide and PowerdomeX cassettes up from the 11-28 capacity of the short cage RED eTap rear derailleur.
The eTap WiFLi rear derailleur will be available as a direct replacement or you can buy it as part of an upgrade kit.
SRAM RED eTAP WiFLi Upgrade Kit
The eTap WiFLi upgrade kit will convert current eTap drivetrains to a WiFLi drivetrain and it includes the WiFLi rear derailleur, a SRAM XG-1190 11-32T cassette and a SRAM RED 22 chain.
Now for the important bits.
The weight of the new RED eTap WiFLi rear derailleur is 243 grams including the battery.
The rear derailleur alone will be priced at USD $610 or €570 and £485 (Australia to be confirmed).
The complete upgrade kit is priced at USD $920 or €907 and £745 (Australia to be confirmed).
Excellent. Now eTap is a temptation for me with this news. I need to fight off the temptation….
