Invisible cabling for Shimano's XTR Di2
The new components from Pro's Tharsis XC line are designed to allow seamless integration with the XTR Di2 groupset. All XTR Di2 cables can be routed inside the handlebars and, together with Pro's special headset, there is even space for the Di2 unit battery in the steerer tube. This means that no cable is visible on the outside of the cockpit.
The handlebars in the series were developed for use at competition level, which is why they are also trimmed for lightness and stiffness. The carbon handlebars are available in three different offsets, all of which are bent back by 9°. The Di2 version of the "Flat Top" model makes it possible to route the cables internally and therefore out of sight.
The Tharsis XC stem features the so-called Headlock System, which ensures that the front clamp and stem are perfectly aligned even when clamped. A new feature on board is an integrated headset adjustment system that makes the end cap and headset claw superfluous. Pro not only wants to save weight with this, it also allows the Di2 battery to be mounted in the steerer tube with direct internal cable routing. The Tharsis XC stem is available in two angles and various lengths.
The seatpost from the new component group is characterized by the single lateral clamping bolt, which was already used on earlier Tharsis versions as well as the FRS and Athertons seatposts. The Tharsis XC seatposts are available with both zero millimetre and 20 millimetre offsets and are ideally equipped for the electronic age thanks to a special mount for Di2 batteries.
