What is wireless groupset?

An electronic groupset forgoes gear cables and instead relies on motorised derailleurs to shift gears. Unlike a mechanical groupset, which utilises gear cables between the shifter and derailleur, an electronic groupset uses either wires or a wireless signal between the shifter and the derailleurs to communicate.
