Here's a summary of our DURA-ACE press camp, held in Calpe, Spain in January 2017.
DURA-ACE Di2 Tested by the Media | Shimano
We recently headed over to Spain to test ride our new Dura-Ace Di2 components. The weather was unseasonably horrid - ice, wind and driving rain - but the components more than met the challenge! Watch the video to see how we battled the elements in not-so-sunny Calpe.

E-TUBE PROJECT
Shimano's product engineer Tim Gerrits demonstrates the E-TUBE project for iPad. The E-TUBE application allows you to update your bicycle's firmware and change Di2 when connected to a PC, iPad or iPhone. You can find all the details on our website or download the application on your iPad or iPhone.
Depsite the bad weather conditions all of the press went out for testing. Luckily they were supported with spare parts, spare wheels and dry clothes by the "Coches Azules," our Shimano Neutral Support team in Spain.
