TWO new Dura-Ace groups in 2009

[rij73]

Looks like Shimano is bringing out two new Dura-Ace groups -- one mechanical and one electronic. Here is some good news about the mechanical levers:


The new STI Dual Control levers will have a flatter and more hand-friendly hood shape. Carbon brake lever blades and titanium hardware will drop some weight. Adjustable lever reach will better accommodate smaller hands and a wider assortment of bar bends. The derailleur cable housing will be concealed beneath the bar tape for a cleaner appearance.

Here's the article:

Hmmm... I wonder who they are trying to keep pace with? :rolleyes:



Sorry... I'm a SRAM addict!

Teehee Andrea! I thought that too... It does sound exactly like Red doesn't it?

Hey, thanks for posting this.

I was kinda interested that Flightdeck is now gonna have altimeter, inclinometer and HR, and be downloadable.

Several interesting things in that article. Thanks! :)
