You want a modern road bike designed for all-day, epic road rides, with a focus on comfort and a smooth ride quality. But, most importantly, you don’t want to sacrifice great handling or a powerful riding experience. You also prize electronic shifting.
Highlights:
- Advanced-level carbon layup with TeXtreme carbon, optimized for a smooth ride
- Clearance for up to 30mm tires
- Modern endurance geometry for a broad fit range
- Clever cable management and unique storage solutions
- Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic drivetrain
Electronic drivetrain systems deliver excellent shifting, easy set up, and solid battery life. Here are the highlights of today’s electronic shifting systems:
Shifting Performance
Electronic shifting systems use powerful servomotors to rapidly shift the chain. Because microprocessors and sensors constantly monitor every aspect of the system, they shift with precisely and without chain rub.
Customization
Many major systems have customizable shifting. Some have the ability to add remote shifters for common riding positions, and some even allow you to change the functions of the shifting buttons.
Dependability
Electronic groupsets are responsive and consistent. There are no cables to stretch and wear out, so you get a flawless shift every time. The added bonus is you’ll never have to replace a derailleur cable ever again.
