Does anyone else wonder why they never have shown close up shots of the new bikes' drivetrain. Why is there only one cable coming from the handlebars? Are we seeing wireless Dura Ace? hmmm.

 

[bobbins]

Nope. Nope.

Wireless would be heavier.

looks like normal dura ace di2 wires to me

the only thing to note is di2 and a power meter which adds some weight but still the bikes almost 16 lbs too heavy at that level and cost imo. treks are quite heavy at the same size compared to many other brands.
did make me happy about my bike though lol.

[Michele]
