SHIMANO XTR 2011 - 10X

A full 18 years have passed since the first Shimano M900 XTR group and long has been waiting for the new edition of the XTR. After some speculation in the run and the presentation of the XT and SLX groups in the spring It is now available: Shimano unveiled its new flagship of the public - and , as expected, with a tenth sprocket at the rear. Focus Lightweight : In terms of weight has done a lot . Well over 200 grams , the M980er group in the lightest configuration compared to the previous M970 slimmed down and aufgehübscht many corners visually. New to the program is now also a separate 2-fold Crankset - Shimano's expected response to 2 × 10 SRAMs policy.

Not only to the XC mountain bike racer among the freaks was intended . Shimano XTR would continue to share with the same emphasis on the All -Mountain horse and thus provides a model extension to Steckachssysteme , AM- wheels , custom disc brake lever BL- M988 and platform to pedals
