At the recent Opening Weekend races of Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne, Lidl-Trek riders employed the SRAM Red XPLR 1x13 gravel groupset. This follows a series of tests by team members since last winter, including a notable video from Mads Pedersen. The Red XPLR, designed for gravel, offers unique advantages on rough terrains typical of Classics. Features like the robust rear derailleur enhance efficiency, presenting a tactical edge for riders while maintaining compatibility with the standard SRAM Red chain.
The SRAM Red XPLR 1x13 gravel groupset is strategically used by Lidl-Trek riders during the Opening Weekend, adapting it for the demanding Classics terrain.
Integrating the Red XPLR gravel groupset into road racing showcases innovation, as its features are well-suited to handle the rough terrains akin to gravel events.
