2018 Stella

[stingray23]

Not beautiful enough to be a Stella. I was hoping for better aesthetics. Looks dark and boring.

It actually looks pretty amazing, I seen more pics on instagram and its pretty sweet...

Can you post those pics?

I will see if I can find some more...its kinda a pain to get pics off my phone then load them onto the computer.

And here in Aus a lot of guys chased the Yumeya dark and foreboding bits for their FE's - made them look menacing to look at once ridding the gold laden trims.

Wish i could've got those bits for my FE.

Hey Andrew, happy to offload my Yumeya 0820, 50mm handle, matching drag knob and handle cap (fit 2500 / c3000) if you are interested. Let me know. Jack aka Doc from BM

This site has some specs. Looks like they shaved some weight off of the 2014 model.

10 - 15g less weight on equivalent sizes. They have either changed the way they rate “practical drag pressure” or it has gone down quite a bit according to the table. The C3000 went from 6kg practical and 9kg max down to 3.5kg practical and 9kg max .

Looks like it has the same finish as the Metanium MGL.

I can’t wait to see what they did to the gears on the inside it said micro module 2 so I’m guessing they made the teeth even smaller? Can’t wait to check it out!

To light to be metal...the 2500 size is 200 grame...

The FE and FI are more cosmetics...

Ci4+ you think? That would be a sad day imho. All metal is what a Stella needs to be.

No way... it has to be magnesium... I'll look into it too. I'll have one ASAP upon official release, can't wait

[Ovidiu-Andrei]

On the shimano.co.jp they said that the body and rotor "are metal"...but still 20 gr minus from the 2014 and 2010 models means something...

2500 FE (2010) = 225 gr
2500 FI (2014) = 225 gr
2500 FJ (2018) = 225 gr

I think that will be a great real because it is still a Stella...but the weight loss and 1 bearing minus rise some questions...?!?

Plastic "composite micro" gears

My steez 17 uses Zaion body I believe and a Zaion rotor and its super smooth, light and amazing.
I can't feel any flex and its super light.
