Having recently release its roster of sponsored long course triathletes, SRAM has now pointed to the world‘s best triathletes who haven chosen SRAM RED for the 2012 Olympic season. As the groupset brand points out, the 2011 ITU season was ‘an amazing one for SRAM triathletes, with both men and women consistently standing atop podiums throughout the year.’
Men: World Championship Gold (Alistair Brownlee), Silver (Jonathan Brownlee) and Bronze medals (Javier Gomez). Six victories out of seven and 19 top fives out of a possible 35.
Women: The Sprint World Championship (Barbara Riveros Diaz), a Silver medal at the Worlds (Andrea Hewitt), five victories out of seven and 17 top fives out of 35.
With the Olympic Games in London this August, SRAM triathletes will go for gold on the newest and lightest drivetrain components: SRAM RED-2012. The all-new groupset, designed with attention to aerodynamics, features the fast and precise YAW front derailleur, the powerful modulation of the Aerolink brakeset, and the Ergodynamic DoubleTap shifters ‘matched to the perfectly silent and precise XG1090 cassette.’
SRAM sees this as a recipe for a Golden season!
