Was it an April Fool’s joke last week or did someone at SRAM just watch Spinal Tap? We ask because the company seems to be ready to release a new 11 speed cassette, which isn’t surprising as both Campagnolo and Shimano have 11-speed road groups.
This isn’t actually just one better than the old “10 speeds” either – as technically those had five speed cassettes – so this is technically a 22-gear system, which brings up the other interesting point. SRAM released a 22-second video with numerous references to 22. In other words half of 11. We’ll just have to wait and see.
