Shimano Ultegra Di2 Review by Bikerumor.com

Since we're not a news media company, we weren't able to participate in Shimano's Press demo on the new Ultegra Di2. However, this review by bikerumor.com is thorough enough to get a great idea on the new Ultegra Di2 system.

With the retail pricing at around $1600 for just the electric components and roughly $2300 for the entire Ultegra group, this would definitely be the start of a new wave for electronic shifting. Here is the full article quoted from Bikerumor.com.
