Specialized claims a 296.4g per pair weight for its latest S-Works Torch Remco shoes in size 41, the size worn by Remco Evenepoel, making them around half the weight of many pro-level shoes, although Specialized claims they undercut their closest rival by just 6g a pair. The design shaves 130.2g off a pair of S-Works Torch shoes though, while there’s a hefty price increase from £300 for the S-Works Torch to £549 for the Remco version.

Shimano has launched the GRX RX827 electronic 1×12-speed rear derailleur. Sharing the design of the XTR Di2 derailleur, it houses the battery in the derailleur body, thus making it the first drop bar derailleur to dispense with the in-frame Di2 battery. The RX827 derailleur is priced at £429.99. There’s a new brake-only left lever to match, priced at £199.99. If you would like to ask your own question you just need to Login, Register or subscribe.

Classified has been working hard recently on integrating its Powershift rear hub gearing into derailleur shifting, for a more seamless experience. A couple of weeks ago it launched a complete 1x groupset alongside TRP, called Vistar // Powershift. Now the brand has announced integration with Shimano Di2, so you can control your Powershift hub from your Shimano electronic shift levers, eliminating the separate Powershift shift button.
