There is just too much to show from the 2014 Africa Cycle Fair. Here is part 1 of the day three finds with a few Shimano Di2 equipped steeds.<\/p>\n

Shimano XTR Di2<\/h2>\n

The team from Coolheat had a test bike fitted with Shimano XTR Di2 3×11. Arriving at the stand we gave them a bit of a grilling about it’s practicality on a mountain bike. But after trying our best to confuse the 3×11 synchronous shifting (and prove them wrong) we left impressed.<\/p>\n

The shifting is super smooth, precise and although a ratio overkill, the 3×11 set up showed off XTR Di2’s operation in the most complex setup.<\/p>\n

Pinarello Dogma F8 with Shimano Dura Ace Di2<\/h2>\n

An instant crowd puller we were accompanied by a “security” escort bringing this beauty to our couch for some shots. Priced at over R180k just taking photos was a nerve wracking task. Though with 40 sales and 10 on pre-order they’re on our roads. Fess up! Which of you Hubbers have one? \";)\"<\/p>\n

Giant Propel with Shimano Dura Ace Di2<\/h2>\n

No escorts this time, but another top end, super aero roadie over the R100k mark (around R140k). The Giant Propel does look quick…<\/p>\n
