Shimano Set To Release Hydraulic Road Disc Brakes

The ST-R785 shifter and BR-R785 hydraulic disc brakeset

With all of the fervor of the Tour dying down until next year, some news did fly below the proverbial radar, and this bit of news should not have - Shimano Road Disc Brakes.

Note: Since the system was designed for Di2, the small, non-mechanical, electronic parts allow plenty of room for the master cylinder reservoir without a large hump on the hoods.

Release date and cost: November, and cost is unknown at this time.
