It's expensive like anything new, but it's actually really interesting from an engineering POV. No B Screw or adjustors, modular, etc is really good potential filter down tech for the future. Imagine if everyday riders never had to adjust limit screws again.
I know that's easy if you know how, but just yesterday I was sorting my neighbours bike cos normal people don't know how it works.
Anyway, cool to hate and all that, but I think in a few years a lot of the 'features' could be on affordable main stream components. Just like clutched mechs from the not to distant future.
