Ive just seen this:

With SHIMANO-SRAM-WHATEVER crazy prices and availability, any news would be very well received...

I don't think we'll see any electronic roadbike groupsets anytime soon.

Joe wasn't too excited about the MTB one in the video.
And I wouldn't buy that either at the price point rumored in the video which was around 380€ converted I think.

Yeah he said shifting wasnt crisp. You also may $400 for a rd and a brifter. A force rd is $300 warranted but chinese electronic groupsets are probably years from being perfect. Best to go with rival if youre on a budget

If only it was possible... No stock till 2022 for the groupset (after talking with some distributors here...)

Where are you from? r2-bike says on their website that they'll come in 2-3 months. The other big german shops have the Rival AXS derailleurs in stock.

More interesting imo would be hydraulic disc brake stuff, especially for the Gravel guys.
