Shimano dropped its latest rendition of Di2 drivetrains last year. Available in Deore, XT , and XTR , each strikes a different budget range, with variations in features, materials, and bling factor.

Today they enter the wheel segment, and we spent the past few months finding out how good they are at organizing ducks.

I’m not pro-Evil but dude this is like bringing up the Pinto as a reason not to get a new Ford. There may be plenty of relevant and current reasons but this isn’t one.

Fluid Focus and Shockcraft both use a different main piston, while Avalanche uses the stock main piston...
