NEW S-Works Tarmac SL8 - SRAM RED AXS First Ride!

This is my part 2 of 2 look at the new SRAM Red AXS groupset!

Does it live up to the hype ( and the price tag! )

I love the colour and by the sounds of it SRAM have got their act together.

great vid! question what happened to the matte black sl8?🙏🏽

[LeeWright]

This is the best colour for the SL8 by far, absolutely stunning in real life. I have to say though, as Ultegra or DA Di2 are just good, I can’t imagine ever wanting or choosing SRAM.

I saw this bike at a shop. The price 14, 500! Wow!

I'm never gonna have the readies to buy something like that but I follow you cause imho you get it right, it's obvious that you love bikes & as you say, 'give a little love back'
Let's not forget your time at Infinity cause as the bike photo shows, retail is in the detail. Perfect gear selection for the pic👏👏👏

Just forked out a chunky bit of wedge on a Campagnolo EPS wireless g/s a few weeks ago & now here I am leering lustfully at that new Red g/s . . . . .

please can you tell me your length and your leg innerlength, I was looking for the same bike, my s-works Venge I had 54, but at the store they measure me and came out for the SL8 on the 56?

Straight mental that (1) shifter costs $675 USD

[brettcrf]

A hell of a lot of money for a group set

I think every cycling youtuber over 1000 subs received the new sram red.

i dont get why not even the non sponsored people tell the truth. why are you all shilling for this group? i was fortunate enough to ride it myself (as a dura ace user) and i have to say it is still inferior in many ways. the shifts are still slower and a bit more clunky (especially front). the button on the hoods are inferior as well because i cannot use them when im in aerohoods position (no so for shimano, i can always use them with my thumbs). and the breaks (even though they got improved a lot) are still not as good as shimano. all those factors add up and if you consider the current price difference here in europe (sram 4300€ no powermeter vs. shimano dura ace di2 2850€) there is not even a question. for me this red is an epic fail as a new release. it should have been like this years ago to even compare it to shimano. but 2024 is roughly 4-5years to late for this.
