Rotor's all-new wireless Uno groupset aims to challenge Shimano and SRAM
Rotor has unveiled a new generation of its Uno groupset; however, this time it is wireless and aimed at mountain and gravel bikes. The brand claims that Uno will offer fast shifting, low weight, and maximum modularity—all with SRAM and Shimano tightly in its crosshairs
At the heart of the new groupset is electronic shifting technology from Wheeltop’s EDS groupsets, following last year’s acquisition of a majority stake by the Chinese manufacturer. The brand has doubled down on versatility with the derailleur and shifter being compatible with 10–13-speed cassettes, programmable via the Rotor Uno app.
For mountain biking, the Uno offers an IP67 waterproof-rated rear derailleur, with 150ms shift speeds and 15,000 shifts per charge. Unlike the gravel alternative, there are no brake options to pair with the mountain bike groupset. The brakes for the gravel model use carbon levers and Shimano-compatible hoses.
Although there is currently no firm pricing, the MTB upgrade kit is said to retail for under €700, while the gravel kit, including brakes, is expected to cost around €800.
