Hi Everyone,

I wrote an article about a new wireless twist-grip that Shimano are developing. It's configured to change gears, adjust a dropper, and adjust your suspension without taking your hands off the grips. It's a pretty cool idea and supports the assumption that Shimano are coming out with wireless stuff... when parts become available. Enjoy!

Wasn't a big fan of the twist grip when it first came out but have had one the last 10yrs, SRAM XO 10spd, and now I wouldn't do without it. Cable tension/friction keeps it from shifting without purpose and I am not sure how sensitive the electronic version might be and cause issues but I have no need for such tech anyway so not a potential customer I suppose.

That's a horrendous idea.
but luckily Shimano have thousands of patent designs that never see the light of day
