Strengths: light weightWeaknesses: Cage has to much flex causing unreliable shifting. Don't even think about shifting under load on a hill!Bottom Line: The cage on this derailleur is crap! It has to much flex and wears fast when the chain rubs due to no trim on the big front gear. I had to replace derailleur after one year. Pro teams insisted on a different cage on their front derailleurs. They must know something the rest of us don't!

Strengths: LightweightWeaknesses: Shifting action not as responsive as Dura Ace, and cage is prone to breakingBottom Line: Broke my brand new 2008 SRAM Red front derailleur on a downshift. There's a weld on top of the cage is came apart. Don't know if SRAM fixed this design, but it is definitely inferior construction/design.
Shifting is also not as firm as Dura Ace. Stiffness is sacrificed with the lighter ti material on the Red. I'm going back to Dura Ace on my front derailleur.
Favorite Ride: Sonoma/Mendocino County coastal hills
