11 speed XTR?
- Thread starter sethimus
- Start date
was only a matter of time really
The crank doesn't matter, show us the cassette!
i know, what i don't get is why are there still 2 and 3 ring versions?
a) they have 11 speed cassettes starting at 11t and need at least 2 rings for a wider range of gears
b) they have cassettes starting at 10t like sram and using the xx1 freehub but also offering 11 speed cassettes for normal freehubs
c) ???

Maybe it's because its its a scan of a catalogue page but that crankset looks cheap.
They've always said you want more cogs to reduce the jump between gears, not necessarily to get more range. But at this point that's little more than positive spin on the limits of their existing derailleurs.
Like everyone I'm curious to see if they have a wider range cassette and new derailleurs in response to XX1. Will be interesting to see what they can do in light of patents, etc.
My XX1 has been super solid since last April. Shimano really needs to step up to get my drivetrain business back.

I will have it.
It'll blow your fvckin mind in person.
It's an 11-40.
Because for some ppl 30 gears it not enough
LOL
Any hint when these will be released?
as a long time xtr fan def will be on this at some point, the stuff has always been the best money can buy (except for those dark dual control days)
^^^ This, please.
I'd had liked a 11-44 cassette, no need to change the freehub body and have a similar range to the 11-42 is te xx1....
That is going to be one expensive cassette.
di2 as well:

I'm interested in the cassette-freehub interface. Looks like they went back to the Shimano Capreo system...
definitely a standard lock ring, plus only going down to 11t doesn't require the special capreo or xd1 type driver/freehub. no mention of hubs/freehubs in any of the literature either.
Disappointing. You might as well get the 42t adapter than spend $ on new XTR. 11-40t is not enough of a range to go one ring for many people IMO. Even if you put on a 28t front ring to compensate, that only hurts you pedaling on 11t cog.
11-40 cassete, i have to earn nino schurter legs to ride with only one chainring
WTF Shimano?

Argh, I need glasses. I could swear I read 10-40 instead of 11-40. My apologies.
Have they done anything with the derailleur? Or is it a standard XTR shadow with a clutch? I think part of the magic of XX1 is the redesigned rear derailleur...

I'd rather have a compromise of good shifting and range vs all out range. Besides, this is xtr, not saint or zeehoneslx

Lawl.
For what I ride I'm pretty happy with a 34t ring and an 11-36 cassette. XT shifter and Saint derailleur with a narrow wide ring and no guide are performing admirably.
They make Front Derailleurs and E-bikes for those people.
