The Cycling Tech Brief: the cycling tech that actually matters today — and whether to update, wait, or ignore.
- Shimano XTR M9200 Di2 enters real-world circulation — a year of waiting, now in shops and on trails — Monitor — early impressions are compelling and it's now in stock, but let a full season of racing and user data accumulate before committing at this price.
- Campagnolo's 13-speed platform expands: Record 13 launches at ~€2,100, bringing the full Super Record architecture to a wider price tier — Update — if you're on Campagnolo or evaluating a top-tier wireless group, Record 13 is now the most accessible entry to the platform; verify your hub standard and Ekar cassette compatibility before ordering.
