Hydraulic shifting...

Wonder if they will have tandem-length hoses? Looks to be a bit less expensive than Di2.

High Tech, evolution and progress are wonderful things and while this looks pretty cool and makes for entertaining reading...I 'll have to pass. Too many parts, all having to like each other at the same time, for me to want to count on when we're far from home and riding by ourselves in the middle of no where.
For those racing with support nearby, and with the money to blaze some new trails while taking a few arrows for the rest of us ...then definitely go for it.

Electronic makes more sense in my opinion, but it's hard to beat the simplicity, cost and reliability of good old fashioned cables.
