Shimano Has Played It Safe For Too Long

from The BikeRadar Podcast · host Our Media

Thanks to Feedback Sports for sponsoring this video https://feedbacksports.com/ Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 R9300 is being raced at La Vuelta, but I’m not at all impressed by what we’ve seen so far.   In this week’s episode of the BikeRadar podcast we’re going to discuss why this latest leak has left me – maybe us – so underwhelmed.   We’re then going to discuss this year’s best drop bar bike, yes, that’s right - our Bike of the Year has been crowned, and Warren here is going to tell you what it is and why it’s better than everything else.   Then, lastly we will of course have our news in brief, where we’ve got news of Specialized’s new ‘cheaper’ Tarmac SL9 range, Garmin’s new flagship smartwatch and Insta360’s latest action camera.   Before we crack on, a massive thanks to Feedback Sports for sponsoring this podcast and helping us keep it going. We’ll have more to tell you about them later. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
