Electronic braking? Probably not, but shifting that recharges as you ride could be on the way (road.cc)

Well I meant all competitors. And by cyclist I mean do you currently cycle on the regular. I don't wear lycra either since I ride downhill.

Downhill and Enduro racers use wireless groupsets pretty much 100% of the time now. A few grams means a lot to guys where 1st and 2nd place are separated by a few hundredths of a second.

Since everyone uses it and it comes on higher end bikes it has and will start to filter down to the lower end bikes and eventually everything will be wireless. Same thing happened with disc brakes and single chainring groupsets.
