i loved the large-scale pictures....sweet!
not thrilled with an 11-speed option because i'm convinced chain stretch / strength will become a factor.
rear derailleur is visually beautiful.

i've got an all-titanium campagnolo record 11-23 on one set of carbon wheels.
i've got an all-titanium campagnolo record 12-25 on another set of aluminum wheels.
dig them both. if the titanium eventually wears, i'll just purchase another since it enhances the sport i love so much.

Has anyone noticed...
1. The cassette is only a 9 speed?
2. The cassette has no machined shift ramps?
**********????
The shifters are interesting. Originally, I thought they were.... eewwww!!! But, the inward curve where the thumb rests is an interesting attempt at achieving further ergonomic comfort. I'm also assuming the holes in the brake lever are meant to lower wieght, and provide access for perhaps... lubing, and/or routing cables?

Correct. I was attempting to cover that with the "etc." in that statement:

The swoopy-looking hoods and levers? pass.
The 11-gear drivetrain? *insert 'Spinal Tap' joke here*
The price? It makes every frame in existence completely over-grouped.
That said, I look forward to riding with the dentists on their 11-speed Sevens and Serottas. They will, no doubt, be pretty beautiful bikes.
I'll take SRAM, thankyouverymuch.

Imagining that's just the way the image was clipped. Unless they're following through with that one-piece cassette+free-hub+axle design a la Ultra-Torque.

I'm glad that after being put through its paces by a group of italian engineers and international pro cyclists, we're able to identify the shortcomings of this group based on 4 pictures and zero miles of riding. A public service, really.

Hope you're kidding. If not you didn't read any of the explanations. It's steel vs Ti. Aluminum would make a bad gear tooth for a bike cog.

OP should have posted the original link to the info.
https://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/...le_258884.html
FTA: "The new 11-speed cassettes are available in 11-23, 11-25, 12-25 and 12-27 ranges."
Frankly none of those cassettes have gear ratio gaps large enough to justify 11sp to me.

For the love of Pete. We get it. It's like Spinal Tap. The cassette now goes to eleven.
People think they're the only ones who found that image on Google.
Rant aside, I'm glad to see that rarest of metals -- drillium -- finally make its way to Campy carbon shifters.

Accounting - "Nobody is gonna buy it at this price! make it cheaper!"
Marketing - "can't beat Shimano if we ship like that..."
Production - "We can't make it like that and roll out more then 2,000 units a month!"
The boss (to consultants) - "I hope u like my input." (they better).
We here don't care, we just want WHAT'S RIGHT!

SRAM just took a shortcut and decided to machine the entire cassette from a single piece of steel. So all of the gear teeth are steel, but the center is hollow and therefore much lighter. They believe it is the best of all worlds. I would agree if they would charge less that $200 for the damn thing.
Plus, by having no ti cogs, it should last considerably longer.
