I’m assuming this is a typo of some sort. The last thing I would want pointed at my nether regions is a mirror.

You are totally correct – Instead of “SRAM Red,” it says “SRAM” really big.

Regarding the “Pro-only” I believe it is just different graphics. They do have big SRAM logo on levers (maybe something else…). They are doing that for a while (gold/rainbow colors for olympic and WC winners, yellow logos for for Tour leaders etc.)

Also – why not the newest 13s Red?
