Shimano gains wireless application approval, maybe for new Dura-Ace
Applications approved by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) seem to confirm rumours that the next generation of Shimano’s top level Dura-Ace groupset will be at least partially wireless.
Cycling Tips has unearthed wireless communication applications by Shimano that have been approved in the past few days.
A confidentiality agreement between Shimano and the FCC means that photos and the user manual are confidential but wireless application approvals for a rear derailleur and shifting module are available to the public.
Each component features a transceiver with an operating frequency of 2478 MHz, so it’s virtually certain that they’ll communicate wirelessly with one another.
The rear derailleur also features transceivers for Bluetooth Low Energy and ANT+.
There’s no approval for a front derailleur. It could be that an application is still in the works, or perhaps that the front and rear derailleurs are linked by a wire.
Check our Cycling Tips’ original story here.

Betting that many of those people who confirmed they have ridden a bike in the past year only rode it the once, and drove to get to where they rode...
Yes. Yes we are. And it does make it harder to achieve. Well done that man.
Isn't that precisely why they put bollards in front of shop windows etc? Because some people will try and crash their car into the shop entrance...
Is a tin hat better than a composite plastic hat?
Yes, but my car tyres run about 33psi and dont have liquid latex in them to try to seal them when they puncture, your comparison is silly and is...
Distasteful considering Primal aim to make money out of the incident whilst the riders that had their tours could be earning less. Are Primal...
These Favero axles should fit in mountain bike pedals too. ...
Probably best not to send it though. Wouldn't want to get prosecuted for riding on the pavement.
Well yeah but the most vocal opponents were the butchers and the sweet shop, and their main bone of contention was that it would be more...
So the designs are on the pockets? and they send press shots of the fronts of the jerseys to use?
