kosmonooit Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Interesting feature - it has a mode to auto-select the front ring as you shift up and down. Can also integrate with Fox CTD ZInn was impressed
Christie Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 The auto mode will make it feel as if you are riding a 1x22. It can operate with one shifter - Shimano's answer to SRAMs 1x11?
TALUS Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I had a lot of teething problems with my Di2. Steep learning curve for mechanicals. Now I wont go without it (despite loosing shifting on D1 of the Panorama). I am VERY ready for this. Yeah Baby

gummibear Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 SHIMANO PRO COMPONENTS ADDS DI2-INTEGRATED XC HANDLEBAR, STEM & SEATPOSTposted by Tyler Benedict - May 31, 2014 - 9am EDT http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Shimano-pro-tharsis-xc-cockpit-di2integration-600x121.jpgJust after launching their amazing new XTR Di2 group, Shimano’s PRO components division unveiled a full cockpit group built to hide the wires from shifter all the way back.Using ports on the handlebar, wires can run inside the bar, through the stem and directly into the frame. From there, the battery will sit in the seatpost or, thanks to a “new headset design”, you can stash the power supply directly inside the fork’s steerer tube.All junction boxes can then be tucked in the tubes or stem, and a special steerer cap provides access to the front junction for charging. More pics below… http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Shimano-pro-tharsis-xc-handlebar-di2-integration-600x500.jpgAt the moment, we don’t have tech details and specs, so we’ll update as soon as we get more info. In the meantime, the pics give some of it away.http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Shimano-pro-tharsis-xc-handlebar-di2-integration2-600x192.jpghttp://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/shimano-pro-tharsis-xc-stem-di2-integration-600x475.jpg Putting the battery in the steerer would preclude using a star nut or expansion wedge, so we’re intrigued by this bottom cap design. We’ve got a call in to Shimano for details.http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/shimano-pro-tharsis-xc-stem-di2-integration2-330x600.jpgA removeable top cap lets you access the battery and/or Junction A for charging.http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Shimano-pro-tharsis-xc-seatpost-di2-battery-integration-600x218.jpgThe seatpost uses their standard clip to retain the battery.http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Shimano-di2-internal-seatpost-battery-600x498.jpgFork steerer or seat tube, your choice. Unless you have a dropper post.
Paul Ruinaard Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Awesome. I want this. Imagine CTD integration? Price will no doubt lead t heart failure. nathrix 1
JA-Q001 Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Must say, the integration of these are way ahead of the road parts. Specific, hb, stem, battery in steerer, much better planning than on the road.
GoLefty!! Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 more to come and theyhad 5 years to think about it and use their riders input. It was due to be launched last year but they delayed it to add features and hardware.They learned a lot from M960
VicanZA Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Already got so much crap to charge, not a good thing for stage racing. Charge phone, gps, and ur groupie or u ride single speed.
