WiFLi
WIDER, FASTER, LIGHTER
You love to climb but don’t want clumsy triple cranks on your bike. SRAM offers you another solution: WiFLi = Wider - Faster - Lighter. WiFLi is based around a compact crankset, an 11-32 cassette, and a mid-cage rear derailleur. The combination provides you a wider gear range than the most popular triple combinations, giving you a better range of gears to climb (and descend), while shedding crucial weight.
WiFLi = Wider - Faster - Lighter
Upgrade your bike to a climbing road bike!
SRAM’s WiFLi Technology is based on the compact 2X10 - two front chainrings and 10 gears in the rear - inherent in SRAM Apex and Rival, which delivers a wider range of gears than your standard triple, faster shifts through two chainrings and 10 gears, and with significant weight savings. It’s the newest technology from the company that continues to innovate and improve the cycling experience.
You can easily change your wheels according to the type of race you ride, or change clothes to match the weather conditions, and now you can now quickly change the configuration of your bike to fit a hilly course profile. In less than 30 minutes your bike can be transformed into a climbing machine. Whichever SRAM groupset you have on your bike, SRAM RED, SRAM FORCE, SRAM RIVAL or SRAM Apex, they are all perfectly compatible with WiFLi. During the 2011 Giro our Pro teams, Saxo-Bank Sungard, Garmin-Cervelo, and Katusha used WiFLi with great success on their SRAM RED equipped bikes for the extreme mountain stages. Why not you?
WiFLi™ is all you need to know… • • • • • •
Wider – a wider range of gears for every climb and any descent Faster - two chainrings shift (and set-up) much faster and more easily than three Lighter – as much as 274g (9.8%) less than the most popular road triple Much improved Q-factor - improved heel clearance Easier set up - two is easier than three Compatible with SRAM RED, SRAM Force, SRAM Rival and SRAM Apex Gear Ratio Chainring

Tech Quick Start Two simple tricks to install your chain and set up a perfect rear shifting How to close the PowerLock on the SRAM chain: • Put both parts of the PowerLock in the ends of the chain. The arrow on the outer link should point in the running direction of the chain when pedaling forward. • Bring the PowerLock now in a position above the chainstay between the cassette and the chainring. Check again that both parts have not opened while running over the cassette. • Now hold the rear wheel and put power on the crank until the bolts of the PowerLock snap in their locked position. Finally check if the chain is running and changing smooth and easy now in every chainring-cog combination.
How to set up the perfect rear shifting: The correct distance between the upper pulley and the cogs is crucial.
Attention: After having locked the PowerLock you can not open it again. You have to use a standard chain tool and a new PowerLock.
6-8mm !
The only tool you need is either a 2,5mm hex wrench for SRAM RED or a Philips screw driver for SRAM FORCE, SRAM RIVAL and SRAM APEX
Attention: If you change the cassette this distance should be adjusted to the largest cog of the new cassette.

• Put the chain on the inner chainring and the inner cog. • In this configuration the distance between the top of the cog teeth and the upper pulley should be 6-8mm (top picture on the right side). You can adjust the distance between the pulley and the cassette with the B-screw (circled in the picture below).
