With the launch of wireless XTR Di2 (and XT and Deore) the path is clear for Shimano to launch Shimano a wireless drivetrain for gravel.
Silly question, why go to all the bother of releasing RX825 last year?
Clearly the next, obvious thing to do is make a proper wireless 2x variant?
I can´t imagine any of us that want 2x would choose to buy any of the internally wired road or gravel groups knowing shimano are almost certainly going to supersede them with a better product?
Although a 10-51, 12 speed cassette could make a good argument for going 1x again.
I’ve got no problem with either system, but the seatpost battery is far better for my most commonly used bike. It just lasts way longer. 4 months vs 1.5weeks.
I think there’s a market for both and removing the downtube wires and shifter cables vastly simplifies it and will make it quieter.
