And most reviewers like everything a lot. They want to sell advertising, after all. Do you really believe that stuff?
Well, I have both an eTap and a Di2 bike so it’s easy for me to compare them. I like the eTap shifting so much, I’m considering switching out the Di2 for eTap now that the eTap Red is on sale everywhere. So, yeah, I believe the reviewers and I think they nailed it with regards to the eTap shifting strategy.
Ergonomics of the shifting levers are much better with full finger gloves for winter riding too.
