“Performance in Mountainbiking” with a never before seen level of quality and precision is the philosophy of the Shimano XTR group. Mountainbiking has evolved and the XTR group has grown but it has never outgrown its original design philosophy of delivering top-level performance in a lightweight, beautifully engineered package. The next generation of XTR raises the bar again: reduced weight, increased rigidity and improved durability combined with innovative new features.
