FSA K-Force WE Wireless Electronic groupset
Moderator: robbosmans
Cyclingnews and other online sites are plastered with adverts for the new FSA electronic groupset K-Force WE but there seems not much interest here. Has anyone used it or is intending to?
I won't be, as it happens, as I'm liking EPS.

Off topic for pure road, but i wonder how it holds up against competition riding gravel, mud and even winter.
Minus for Sram, FD clearance allows maximum 35mm tires.
This might be further limited pending on rims inner width.

Is it lighter than the SRAM eTap system (shifters + derailleurs) ? That's the question.
Actual weights would be nice... and none of that "well we're including the cranks and chain and other sht" in the weights, because anyone who actually gives a crap about the mass of their bikes is unlikely to just default to the brand-standard without considering, and weighing, other options.

I've used it but not for any extended period of time. First impressions were positive, but will take a wait and see approach.
I spoke with FSA about availability just the other day and was told that they have a very limited shipment coming Sept which is already allocated to OEM. Aftermarket won't be until Nov. So still a few months before anyone really gets to put some miles on it.

I’d kinda thought these were vapourware/never to be actually available.

I don't understand who their target market is supposed to be. K-Force WE MSRP seems to be maybe 20% higher than Sram Red eTap, but the difference in actual street price for savvy shoppers is much bigger. While MSRP does seem lower than Dura-Ace Di2 street price the latter still has a lower street price. Who in their right mind would spend more to buy WE rather than Red eTap or DA Di2?
Have had the calipers for over a year and like them.

A new 11-speed group, when everyone's going to 12 speed (or 13). This group is a day late and a dollar short.

Never even thought about it... Just swapped my Tarmac SL5 from Di2 to Super Record EPS, and impatiently waiting for EPS 12 for my SL6 and Venge.. Raptor and Falcon are getting imatient while they wait to get built...
This topic has been dead since Nov 2018 but on Dutch site fiets.nl there's an article of a prototype FSA We with disc brakes on a Colnago C64 of former pro rider Ludo Dierckxens:
