This, when paired with the available 11-34 cassette, offers an exceptionally low climbing gear while maintaining a 48-11 ratio that allows riders to take advantage of strong tailwinds and long descents..."
I'll wager it is a typo. A systemic one. Shimano did this with their wheel line-up last year with their wheelset labeling and ad-copy and press-releases.....and stealth-updated all that official material after consumers loudly complained about false advertising.

A 17T FD is just to odd to not be a typo. They're always 16T.
