My thoughts 🤔 this will be over priced to the consumer as it all electronic I will stick to my 105 thanks there is really no need to go any higher I can shift just as quickly as someone with electronic and an extra cog will not do much to be honest it should have been 13 speed Shimano have lost contact with the consumer who buy there stuff all well and good speaking to the pros but at the end of the day the pros are a different bread and don't pay all Shimano's bills 😁 I will wait for a 12 speed 105 groupset thanks

Yay for advancement of technology. Sadly, I now know what rim brake owners feel when most bikes are now only being produced disc only.

However, I am just concerned about the signal this communicates. Although history tells me a 105 in 10 years will be better than my current Ultegra, I just hope it's mechanical. Even the Shimano Engineer admits they had to hardwire the 2 mechs because of interference..imagine the amount of interference of other devices as we 'advance'. I'd rather rely on good ole fashioned mechanical for the basic function of my bike. Maybe the real challenge for the future is to make a more efficient and more crisp mechanical Groupo?

No because if they do then nobody will buy the new one and they'll lose millions

[@MrTurbohampster]

@@jarnostok5136 that is likely going to be the case. But so far all Di2 components have had firmware updates to make them all cross compatible

[@wanderlost.productions]

I remember when it was a flex to say you ride a Tiagra grouppo… bring on the tech trickledown!

[@Cghv-88]

Ultegra Di2 only ? This will effect the Mid tier bikes considering most come with ultegra mechanical . We’re probably going to see a 105 di2 11 speed .

[@TheLesgumes]

105 di2 please !!

[@glennoc8585]

I don't think so but they would be nice.

[@Cghv-88]

@@glennoc8585 ultegra di2 only would leave a huge Market gap for the price point . They need a substitute group set to fill the gap unless they Reduce ultegra di2 price point , which I doubt they’ll do. You can’t substitute with 105 r7000 Because there is no incentive over r8000 mechanical . The only logical step would be a 105 11speed di2. Dura ace /ultegra wireless 12 speed 105 wired di2 11 speed .

Thank you for bringing along the best in educational programing!

[@Tgiles13]

I like to hear the DA having a rim brake option. But the DI2 only for ultegra is kinda sucky..

[@littlegiant-hu5du]

Well done, Ollie! Your color matched headband + hair styling totally steals the show. Look forward to what next when presenting Ui2...

[@mac-en3bc]

So they are just now catching up with the gearing Campy has had for years, don't match Campy's carbon cranks, and still behind SRAM on wireless tech and this is best Shimano can do? Amazing they still hype this up. 😒

[@Malcom2345]

Bs. winning 16 of the 21 stages compared to other groupsets on the tour 21, and having won more stages in all races around the globe then any other group set manufacturer for the past 15 years pretty much puts everyone else in catch up mode. That’s the facts.

[@mac-en3bc]

Yep, fact. Not hard to do when you pay the vast majority of top teams to ride only your parts. Oh, and then choose what parts they get to ride because those are what you want to sell whether or not the riders want them. It's, sadly, about money, not about quality.

[@Malcom2345]

Yeah l just bet their all just kicking themselves having to use such terribly reliable equipment & ready to hand all that prize money and trophy’s back in protest!

[@mac-en3bc]

Wow if you're that deep up their marking hole, no point trying to talk sense here. Keep paying for mediocrity good sir.

[@Malcom2345]

theres nothing mediocre about finishing a ride /race on gear that works. Shimano is vastly more reliable, easier to service & generally cheaper & more readily available in parts world wide. Shimano also provides the largest and widest scope of equipment to cater for all ages, genres, genders and skill levels. Thats why its chosen more widely over other group sets, thats why most new bikes are released with it installed and why most people will prefer to ride it. But hey don’t let common sense get in the way of your conspiracy theories.

[@hoopdoggydogg]

I don't know. I'm mixed. It's slimmer in a lot of places, which is good. Wireless Di2 from the shifters will make life easier. The fact there's only Di2 options for both DA and Ultegra, I'm a little sad about. At least keep mechanical shifting in Ultegra. Same with the wheels, no tubeless version for rim brakes? Disappointing. Apart from that, there seems to be a lot of good features 👌🏾 👍🏾

[@the318pop]

Most people choose their own wheels irrespective of groupset, keep whatever you already have.

[@gaffle-411]

I’d rather err there on the side of reliability and dependability. Give me a rim brake and mechanical group set. You guys can deal with the hydraulics, wobbly, squeaking brake discs, frequency interference, Higher maintenance, and corroding Lipo batteries. 🤣

How's the horse and carriage going.

[@voiceofreason9780]

@@PeterShawpshawman Too fancy for me. Give me a donkey and a sleigh. You guys can deal with your finicky horses, wobbly, squeaking wheels, tire maintenance AND ridiculous vet bills.

None more black. Loved that reference and the video.

[@quartzdonkey]

I assume Ollie's hair looks like that 'cause it is more aero. Can't think of any other reason to look like that.

[@DevilErnest]

Still a fan of mechanical shifting. I'll always forget charging if it's Di2

How do you cope with your phone charging? LOL

now if only shimano would fix their crank arms from cracking.

[@SimonBauer7]

4:29 video idea: stick this on an ebike that doesnt detect when you shift (motor always in full power unless you back off) and put it in the highest power mode and get a rider that can push a crazy wattage and see if it holds up + go up a hill shifting

[@hellodisdat]

0:23 in.. just pausing quickly because CHECK OUT THE HEAD BAND ON HIM!!! Let the locks flow Ollie, no need for that nonsense🤣
