According to the product specialist
Pros
| The eTap system provides super responsive wireless shifting |
| The hydraulic brakes are powerful and have good modulation |
| Great shifting performance, high shift speed and smooth shifting while out of the saddle. |
| Semi-wireless: there is still a cable connection between the battery, front and rear derailleur. Easier mounting and little chance of cable breakage. |
| You can bleed the brakes without unscrewing the caliper from the frame. Very handy! |
| With Di2 electronic shifting, you must adjust the derailleurs once and they will adjust themselves automatically in the future. |
| 10% more space between the pistons, reducing the risk of rotor rubbing. |
Cons
| This shifter-brake system is hydraulic. Your frame needs to be suitable for hydraulic brakes! |
| 80 grams heavier compared to the Dura Ace R9270 disc brake set. |
