Shifts automatically? oh god

But only for e-bikes, so not intended for people who actually ride.

 

[FlipFantasia]

think of how they'll be able to grow the sport with motors to get up the hills and not even having to learn how to shift!

F*ck’n ebikes…

Naw, it was set to release automatically.

The majority of eMTB owners I come across don’t know the basics of shifting or when to raise the dropper, so this should be great for them.

Boosted brakes and ABS are next. Although I suspect some of the daintier handed monkeys would be in on that.

Where do I throw cash for this?

I can totally remember when everybody on here said the same about 29ers. "Great for noobs but not for a highly trained professional like me". And what are you all riding now?

Now every talentless goober can grab a fistful of brakes on the apex of a corner.

I fail to see the benefit of ABS for off-road 2 wheel applications.

Imagine all those #roost #shralp #shreddd videos without blowing up the corners... What's not to love in that idea?

Whereas I see ABS as the perfect thing to spend more money on for an ebike. Moar profit.

 

[Westy]

It makes sense if you imagine yourself to have about $12k and no skills.

I hope it has a special schralp mode so people can still skid through berms.

 

[Bikael Molton]

I suppose it would be interesting to test a really strong front brake that won’t lock up. My current set up of Dominion A4 with metal pads on a 220 is the first setup I’ve had since old Saints that can cause oh-shit moments when I’m off my game and pull the lever too hard.

but I thought that was the selling point of brake “modulation” – IE SRAM trail / XC brakes.

For extra $18/month, you get bitching nose wheelies as well.

Shimano has entered the chat!

Shimano ABS by Bluebrake will give more cargo bikes & ebikes safer stopping, wider compatibility

Blubrake is gaining momentum in the world of anti-lock brakes for bikes. That's about to increase thanks to a partnership with Shimano
