It’s sort of hilarious that they went to all that trouble to make the 3d-printed steerer insert, but don’t use it on their gravel bike and instead use the stock Enve in-route system with oversized head tube:
Compared to the Celaris, the Orbis is the more contemporary-looking and stiffer riding of the two. Rather than getting tricky with a skinny tapered head tube, the Orbis earns hidden cable routing via a more commonly done oversized head tube that is then matched to Enve’s integrated cockpit and what seems to be Chris King’s upcoming DropSet (IS) version of the AeroSet headset (1.5in top and bottom bearings).
it’s $25k complete only
but that’s in dollarydoos so $16k USD

Until you add custom geometry, nicer wheels, and paint. You’re not gonna order a Baum and run Dura Ace wheels are you?

Those wireless blips are horrible.
The mount sucks
The button sucks
The shape sucks
Ew.

The only ones I’ve seen so far that are actually good were housed in some 3d printed jawns on aerobars.
This opens up easier customization of shifter layouts, particularly for triathlon and TT bikes that previously had to hide a BlipBox somewhere in or on the bike. You can pair up to eight on a single bike, giving you plenty of shift location options.

theoretically one of those batteries is going to last a lot longer than the other one?
Not really. Because they function like the rest of road AXS, each “pair” should get equal use.
Am I weird in thinking I’m doing a lot more work with my right than my left? Not that I have any left shifters anymore
Right and left both operate the rear and if present, the front as well.
Forgot about the auto shifting that I don’t want
Auto shifting is optional! It’s a whole new world! That I am also not interested in.

Left and right operate up and down the cassette. Both at same time would do front.
