why? the IGH replaces the front double chainring. weight and price might be a bit higher but it's probably more robust, less maintenance and you can shift under full load.

- hocuspocus 5y agoI wasn't aware! Still, I'll believe it when I see it at amateur cycling clubs. At pro-level I don't think anyone would take the performance hit (even though they claim it's compensated) just to avoid having a front derailleur. For gravel, cyclocross or even casual road biking, if a double chainring really bothers you, then 1x12 groupsets exist.

Nice bike but the price bump compared to the other electric-shifting models is pretty steep!
