I must have missed it, but when is this new groupset supposed to be announced?

Hence my post. Most of the western world was in some form of lockdown or furlough with stuff all to do except post online! Also, the Di2 thread was in anticipation of Shimano catching up to Sram & Campagnolo, whereas this one is about improving an already current range. BTW, I am on Di2!

This groupset is likely well outside of my budget (unless they offer a Chorus-level version at some point, which seems unlikely), so this is largely academic, but is anyone else sad about the apparent demise of the thumb shifter? I kind of feel like it won't be definitively Campagnolo without it...
I am, but I still hope, that it will be still possible to shift by thumb with the new buttons.raggedtrousers wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 9:00 pmThis groupset is likely well outside of my budget (unless they offer a Chorus-level version at some point, which seems unlikely), so this is largely academic, but is anyone else sad about the apparent demise of the thumb shifter?

We seem to have a pretty good idea whats coming for Super Record.. I have to wonder what will happen down the line... will the current super record become record but wired? Probably wouldnt be a bad thing in all honesty..I have to feel a little worried about future parts availability owning 2 11s EPS, and 3X12s... just scrounging the net looking for a spare V3 DTI has yielded no results.. funny how they made a V4 battery for V3, but never made the V4 DTI itself backwards compatible...
As someone who rides a Kickr Bike in Campagnolo shifting set up I can tell you that you get use to it.raggedtrousers wrote:This groupset is likely well outside of my budget (unless they offer a Chorus-level version at some point, which seems unlikely), so this is largely academic, but is anyone else sad about the apparent demise of the thumb shifter?

You are definitely not alone. I'm not too impressed about losing the thumb button, nor am I about going to smaller cogs and chainrings. I'm hoping the derailleur will still accomodate an 11-32. Failing that, I would have to factor in replacing my crank based power meter.raggedtrousers wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 9:00 pmThis groupset is likely well outside of my budget (unless they offer a Chorus-level version at some point, which seems unlikely), so this is largely academic, but is anyone else sad about the apparent demise of the thumb shifter?

But as you say, it's most likely not a problem because the rumoured price would put it weeeeeeeeeell beyond what I'm willing to spend to upgrade my gears. So I may move to Campag mechanical 12 (from pre 2014 Campag 11 which cannot run a 32t cog).
