Next Generation MTB Wireless Tech Is Here! | GMBN Tech Show 404

Rich and Ferg break down the week's biggest innovations for mountain, e-mountain, and gravel bikes. We get the full scoop on Rotor's wallet-friendly electronic groupset and Marin's updated Headland V2 with long-travel dropper posts. Plus, Lee Williams from Orbea takes us deep into the HMI (Human Machine Interface) system, explaining how its smart dropper and entire ecosystem run off a single battery. We also debate whether all this new tech is making us lazy riders!
