I've just spotted this on instagram, a Vias with R785 levers. So it must either have discs or some secret unreleased hydraulic rim brakes. Although I would suspect it's discs.

I'm not sure if it is just obscured by the fork. There isn't the usual brake behind the fork though so where else could it be?

My guess is hydraulic rim brakes.

I know they're aero but those bars sure look uncomfortable for wrapping your hands around. They've always seemed more suitable as palm rests rather than something I really want to wrap my hands around.

That one also has the hose entry port at the top of the leg as the rim brake version kittel and Sagan rode but on the left for disc brakes

Very strategic photo there. Looks like maybe they're going to try again but this time with disc brakes. TDF unveiling maybe?

Got blasted in the pro forum for saying look for a redesign of the Vias. Looks like they did.

I did comment on the front end. Does this not included a new fork? This is a pretty big change for a bike that's not a year old. Brandon I sell Specilazed bike I would love this bike to be what it was designed as. First the new forks where for fit, now it's a running change with external cables. Then this comes out. Look at the down tube does that not play into front end stiffness?
I've never seen a bike get changed as much as this bike has. I would love to tell you my source as you would know the person.
