So far, I really like it. The front shifting with the Yaw derailleur, and New Red Sram chainrings is great. It's faster an more reliable than my old bike with D/A 7800 and FSA rings, and at least as good, perhaps slightly better than full D/A 7800.

I never used SRAM before, so I can't compare it to the previous Red first hand, but it definitely shifts better in the front than the previous Red was reported to shift.

One big plus for me was having the power meter integrated into the group.

Also I really like the ability to pin the shifter back to the bars in a sprint, and shift up under load, which is new to me coming from Shimano.
