Transmission derailleurs aren’t cheap either, xo is 800 and XX is 950. Shimano pricing is on par with high end sram. It is also back compatible with existing chain and cassette. Transmission made it so you had to buy all new pieces when it was released.

Haven't seen any media on this but found it interesting that Shimano also released a battery-less self shifting electronic derailleur for commuting under the cues umbrella. https://bike.shimano.com/en-AU/technologies/details/qauto.html

What about if it was discussed In a Signal chat?

I don't get it, people usually want to see shimano content.

That is true, but Fox wouldn't have all build data on the website listed by serial number if it was still just a RAD project. The inverted Fox fork is going to be released.

Actually, SRAM t-type AXS is a heavier, more expensive UDH specific drivetrain when compared to regular AXS and mechanical. While I haven’t conducted a global bike brand part spec inventory, it appears to me, that most wireless shifting equipped bikes are coming with UDH specific t-type AXS. This is exactly the reason why SRAM got everyone they could on board with UDH. To launch this specific drivetrain….and that drive train is heavier and more expensive. I would argue that my point does compute.

Bikes that now have heavier, more expensive wireless shifting, that not everyone wants.

Can't wait to spend another $1000 in tools just because they decided to change a bolt pattern or a diameter somewhere for no reason.

It straight up works. Why change it? Man bike riders are a fickle bunch, not happy when a good product doesn't get updated or revised, not happy when a part constantly changes.
