My bike came stock with 10-speed 6770 Di2 components already on it.. The shifters are custom K-Edge Ki2 (link:
K-Edge Ki2: Electronic Mountain Bike Shifting)
To upgrade to 6870 11-speed I needed the following:
- 6870 Rear Derailleur
- 6870 Front Derailleur
- 6800 11-speed cassette
- 6800 11-speed chain
- 11-speed Freehub for my Roval Rapide SL-35's
I was told by both Specialized and Shimano that my old 6770 Front Derailleur would work but they recommended I also upgrade it to 6870 for best performance, so I did just that..
My crankset is Specialized Pro Carbon and it's already 11-speed compatible..
I purchased the 6870 parts from Jensen USA. They have some nice prices right now and they even price matched the FD.
I spent this for the upgrade:
- 6870 RD $200
- 6870 FD $200 (they price matched performance bike)
- 6800 cassette $72
- 6800 chain $32
- Freehub $80 (ordered through LBS)
