Here the Shimano Archery-W and its accompanying, stem-mounted, Post Shift levers are promoted against a background of racing cyclists in full blooded competition. I would not have imagined this as the target market for the W system - or for stem-mounted levers - both of which seem to me to be commuting/leisure products.
