I've made enquiries and in Australia there's only a few bikes coming into the country before Christmas in DA Di2. Then in Jan 2022 more stock is arriving but apparently supply is very very limited and it's almost like a preorder situation.

I saw this in the official (offline) pdf dealer catalogue at the LBS.
this second carbon color is coming and it is not the same as de chrome logo one.
it is a "chromelike" logo but with red/yellow/green tint on top of it.

just like this aethos frame
Image

the "spectra flair" with the chome logo frame could be an extra faded sparkle effect layer near the chainstay.
the jet feul one could be without this extra effect layer... not sure about this, but it would make sense based on the available pictures so far.
I spoke to our local dealer and they don't have any intel on it other than a guess it's also got an oil slick look to it?

They said next year not this year is that ringing true at your end.

Another price hike (here in US)?

Looks like $17k for DA 12 speed.

In portugal, aethos is now the same price as sl7. Given that demand for aethos seemed to be lower than sl7 they've adjusted prices.

You're right! I have no idea why it defaulted to CA website.

When assembling the front brake and securing the hose with electrical tape on the fork steerer - Is it possible to push in a little bit of slack into the hose to make swapping 2 wheelsets with 160/140 rotors possible? It's basically and extra 1 cm of hose (half the rotor diameter) needed.
I don't know how hollow the fork legs are, I didn't put in any slack when I ran the front hose. But I would imagine that there's a room for that slack between the 140 and 160 caliper...... it's only 20mm of extra hose.
