Better than the wet sram ones but yes, very Mektronic looking.

I'm betting that when Campagnolo finally does do a wet disc/EPS, Formula will be the maker, maybe even the levers.

I am not a mechanical engineer, but at some point will they start building the components into the bars? Along the line of brakes into forks.

Hydraulic road levers look just as ridiculous as discs on road bikes. /grouch

I can't ever see a need for them on a road bike where I live. To me this is like 11speed....another manufactured, hyped up, non necessary, reason to sell new bikes and wheels. /super grouch.

If it's a brifter then the given is form follows function. Certainly possible a rider favors one over the other but so tediously subjective.

Di2 mated to hydraulic brakes on any bicycle is unnecessary and awesome all at the same time. My opinion.

Its totally possible that that would try make something like that in the future.
I'm sure that it would be great from a marketing standpoint because then if you ever had issues with the brakes or levers you would just have to pay to replace it all at once:eek:

I just have no desire at all for hydro on anything other than a Mtn Bike... and I love new tech stuff, just not hydro on road/cross bikes...

The more things change with bikes, the uglier they become, sans the Tommasini and DeRosa (steel and Ti) offerings.
