13-speed Shimano Dura-Ace R9350 Di2: everything we know so far
13-speed Dura-Ace has appeared in the wild. What is it? I'll share everything we know

RD-R9350
August 2026 is when we first saw a prototype of the 13-speed RD-R9350 rear derailleur.
Not much is known about the derailleur yet.
In the spy shots a wire can be seen. That suggests the rear derailleur uses a central battery for power, like BT-DN300.
Of course, this could just be a ruse, and Shimano might be working on a different method of powering the derailleur - I just don't know.
