The Waltons then own Specialized, Surly, Salsa and the shuttered All City, Foundry and other Q brands (and a large stake in Wahoo) giving them the tools to tailor all their corporate stores to each market and finally smashing Trek.
All City is the new Bridgestone
Bike jerks is the new grant

if I remember right that’s on the original Dura Ace 7970 system with a B&M eWerk?
I think for all newer e-tube systems, the Di2 brain is contained in the internal battery (or for external batteries in the holster)

More delicious Reddit stupidity:
Following configuration was overwhelmingly voted “best” and “stiffest” - and in a few cases “most visually pleasing” - way to mount rack. Everyone suggesting that smaller triangles are stiffer getting downvoted to oblivion.
Of course all the options were terrible but the other two had higher mounts on the fork.

Aero E fat bike?
That looks like the sort of bike that’s owned solely by businesses that rent them out to the worst guys on earth for instagram photoshoots

It does have big dubai energy - especially the fat bike capability and the fact that it looks like a ducati
Lol not to mention it should probably be sued by the gun manufacturer Ruger (name and logo). Clearly going for a particular vibe.
WHAT OUR BIKES GO THROUGH
This is in Tokyo Japan at the Japan Vehicle Inspection association. In regards to E bikes this testing center is probably the most stringent testing in the world. Their Job is to try and break that bike. The motor is checked if it interferes with a heart pace maker, the lithium battery gets cooked in an oven and the bike is increased to the breaking point with good fashion bar bell weights. If the bike passes this stage then the Japanese Police are invited to ride the bike. From there behind closed doors a meeting takes place with the Police and (VIA) to determine if the E bike is suitable for the general population. The test E bike, the GT8000 in the video past these tests 3 years ago and to date has been ridden over 20,000Kms without missing a beat. This is what goes into every Ryuger E bike.
