in MTB buying advice
I would like electronic shifting on my next MTB. I've had Di2 on my Canyon road bike for the last 5 years and won't go back to manual.

What MTB's are available with electronic shifting - either ASX or Di2 / XTR?

    What type of MTB are you after? XC, trail, Enduro, DH?
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    Electric shifting comes on top of the range bikes, so in addition to paying for the shifting you are also paying for top end kit everywhere else. That will be a lot of money.
    It may be cheaper to buy the bike you want and add the electric shifting later. You will have the manual shifting available to sell on eBay.

    Isn’t there di2 xt rear derailleurs in 11spd?

    You could look at that or srams offering axs

    How many times have you crashed your road bike, compared to the endless possibilities of crashing your MTB? Electronic just doesn't outdo cable enough for me, the parts are just so expensive.
