No matter which camp you call home, it’s hard to ignore the fact that SRAM has hit the market just right with the 2×10 revolution. The entire XX group has garnered heaps of well-deserved praise from me and thousands of raving fans. For 2012, the lineup of AVID XX brakes gets a complete overhaul to be more powerful while also reducing weight. Read on for all the salivating details.
