Tried searching and couldn't find an answer beyond, 11 speed is great.

How good is it? And is it like future proofing/ will 10 speed have had its time soon? Is 6800 better than red except I'm weight?

Looking (test depending) at a super6 with sram red 10 (2013 frame) which is 2400 pounds against spending a 3200 on this years canyon which would be dura ace (9001) due to delivery times.

I can afford both but would still prefer not to throw money away so just wondered if I would be better investing in DA or taking the saving on Red10?

Any helpful advice great fully received, and so will amusing responses :)

Thanks

    Did you look 5 posts down? http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40042&t=12964193

    If you're not getting Red22 then you're already out of date. SRAM shifting just cannot compare to DA9000.

    Indeed I did but was more about the red v DA, and feeling short changed with the price difference. Is out of date that big a performance increase? Especially when (could very easily be wrong) but a fair few pieces of the red22 is the same as the 2012/13 red10.

    Yes I would love DA9 however I also have other things I could purchase so it has to be pragmatic

    Thanks

    Red 10 and Red 22 both offer fantastic shifting which is positive and fast, nothing to worry about at all if you choose to go for it.
