"Shimano Unveils Affordable 8-Speed ESSA Groupset for Budget Bikes"

Shimano has released a new 1x8-speed drivetrain called Essa, compatible with their current 8-speed systems. With a 409% gear range, it offers a smaller range than 12-speed variants but could still be suitable for mountain biking. The drivetrain utilizes Hyperglide tooth profile and is priced at around $160 USD. Additionally, new shifters for the Cues family of drivetrains have been introduced, designed for smaller-handed riders. No news yet on 12-speed offerings or electric shifting.

TRP Unveils New 12-Speed Mechanical Drivetrain for Smooth Rides.

Taiwanese brand TRP has released its new EVO12 and EVO7 complete drivetrains, which include two new derailleurs, two shifters, carbon and aluminum cranks, and two cassettes, all of which are intended to compete against the best mechanical options from Shimano and SRAM. The EVO12 derailleur features a Hall Lock to prevent floppy derailleur syndrome, while the matching shifters have a hidden switch to choose between single or multi-shift modes. The new cassette is a two-piece design, with the first ten cogs being machined from a single piece of forged steel and the two largest cogs in aluminum.

Campagnolo Goes Wireless with New WRL Groupset

Campagnolo may be releasing a new Super Record groupset that uses wireless technology and ditches the iconic thumb shifter buttons. The new shifters will likely have two smaller paddle-style shift buttons alongside the brake lever and use CR2023 coin cell batteries. The new groupset may also feature revised gearing options and a new Campagnolo disc rotor. It is expected to be released this year, possibly in time for the Tour de France.
