11 or 12-speed, mechanical or Di2. The sweet spot for most riders
A groupset is the shifters, derailleurs, brakes, crankset and cassette. Higher tiers are lighter, shift more crisply and have more gears; most riders stop noticing a difference above 105.

Beginner who bought the RS5 a month ago praises the brand and bike; very short, no detailed evaluation.

Retailer-produced comparison of RS5 and RS7 touting value, power meter, and hydraulic brakes; promotional tone.
