As much as I really enjoy SRAM on my bikes they seem to have stagnated recently with their groups. At this point changes seem to have been mostly cosmetic (Red - Black) and now it looks like maybe a slightly larger change in cosmetics. While there isn't much tech to be trickled down the line they could still give maybe the force or even Rival the zero loss on the right/ rear shifter. My guess is though they want to leave atleast one reason to buy SRAM Red other then just cosmetics and minuscule weight savings.
