Why is ShimanoROAD reinventing the rear derailleur hanger? New patent suggests Shimano is working on an electronic shift system that’s powered by a hub dynamo
Tell us what the product is for and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?The freedom of the open road, crisp mornings and fiery sunsets. Laughter filling the air and then trailing off.Coffee stops and camaraderie. Route prep and weather checks.
Rain breaks and sunny bursts. Mad dashes. Racing each other to the top. And then kicking back... It's about time – and it's about leaving time behind.I'm still trying to work out if this feels like shifting into oneness or not.
While most people will be singing the praises of the semi-wireless shift quality – quite rightly too – my particular highlight comes at the brakes. The feel of the lever is excellent, and they are quiet when you come off the power too.Moving the brains of the system into the rear derailleur is clever, but if you wreck it in a crash, your day just got even more expensive.
How does the price compare to that of similar products in the market, including ones recently tested on road.cc? SRAM Force eTap AXS HRD is the main rival and it is cheaper, coming in at around £1,689, though it isn't usually sold as a full groupset.Would you recommend the product to a friend?The shifting and braking has improved, while Shimano has made the system semi-wireless and moved the Bluetooth and Junction A functions into the rear derailleur. It is absolutely identical in terms of performance to Dura-Ace and, in my opinion, easily beats SRAM's wireless groupsets.
