2016 is set to be one of the most interesting years in bike tech yet. The groupset options available to the pros have diversified, with wireless, electronic, hydraulic and cable operated all featuring. More brakes options are on the table – we're expecting to see discs on WorldTour bikes at *some* point this season. Plus, frame ranges continues to expand, as does tyre width.

Let us know your thoughts on the tech on show in this video and don't forget to hit SHARE!
