I think electronic shifting will really become the standard at all component levels as the sequential shifting is refined. Really a lot of appeal to sequential at the entry level bikes. The user doesn't have to understand shifting "high" gears and "low" gears just get on and ride. Fewer controls to understand and it fits well with people who have never driven a motorized vehicle without an automatic transmission.

For me I am more excited about the triple front ring capability.
