    So with the release of the new BMC slr 01, I checked it out more on their website. I happened to notice the slr 02 had it’s Groupset blanked out.
    Now it doesn’t take a genius to figure out there is something going on.
    So when will we know more about it??
    I personally hope they introduce hydro shifters the same as the new dura ace ones. They look so much better than the ones available previous

    BMC has DA mech/Di2 and mech

    BMC has DA mech/Di2 and mech/Di2 disc with hydralic. Ultegra 8000 series now has hydralic. I expect BMC to release their Ultegra bikes with the same DA groupsets options.

    Yep, plus the single-letter prefix before the series code. M for MTB, R for road.

    The “shift” started with Sora R3000 sometime last year when it gained the four-arm “X” crank spider from its higher-up brethren. In my country, Claris also adopted it with the new R2000 series as well (no more Octalink, the crank is Hollowtech II like the rest of the road gruppos).

    Personally, I’d hope for better built cranks. In my country the frequency of cases of cracked Ultegra 6800 crank arms is pretty alarming.

    It looks a lot like the new 9100 Dura Ace as you can find elsewhere. I wouldn’t hold your breath though; the Dura Ace Hydro was announced last year and was spec’d on several bikes and still isn’t released… some shops have seen their stock pushed back from April to June to August and now September. The new Ultegra hasn’t even been announced to my knowledge, so 2018 seems most likely.
