Mechanical Parts & Concepts of Mountain Bikes : Shimano vs. Shram Mountain Bike Shifting

Shimano XTR PD-M980 SPD Mountain Bike Pedals $189.99 Shimano XTR PD-M980 SPD Mountain Bike Pedals. Shimano’s done it again. They’ve taken their game-changing XTR mountain bike pedal and pushed the envelope into the ozone by giving the new XTR PD-M980 SPD Mountain Bike pedal a slimmer profile, reducing its weight, and making it an even more efficient mud-shedder.

Shimano XTR 10-Speed Dyna-Sys Cassette $219.99 Shimano XTR 10-Speed Dyna-Sys Cassette. Shimano’s new XTR 10-speed Dyna-Sys cassette combines performance-enhancing stiffness with light weight, consistently smooth shifting and trail-tested durability to meet the evolving needs of today’s mountain bike riders. Specifically designed for optimized performance with the mountain bike-specific HG-X chain and the new XTR Shadow rear derailleur, the XTR 10-speed cassette delivers outstanding shifting performance no matter how rough or rugged the off-road conditions.

Shimano XTR 10-Speed Chain $54.99 Shimano XTR 10-Speed Chain. Shimano’s all-new mountain bike-specific 10-speed, HG-X chain features directional links for enhanced performance — the right side is optimized for front shifting and the left side is optimized for rear shifting. It’s specifically designed to deliver smooth and consistent shifts under high-torque pedaling and muddy conditions.

Shimano Dura-Ace/XTR CN-7701 9-speed Chain $34.99 Shimano Dura-Ace/XTR CN-7701 9-speed Chain. The best 9-speed bicycle chain Shimano has to offer! The Shimano Dura-Ace/XTR CN-7701 9-speed Chain will help give your road or mountain bike precise, accurate and worry-free shifting.

Shimano XTR M980 3X10 Crankset $459.99 Shimano XTR M980 3X10 Crankset. An integral part of Shimano’s new XTR Trail line of mountain bike components, the XTR 3X10 CloseStep triple crankset is the ultimate weapon for the go anywhere, do anything trail warrior who demands smooth, precise and efficient shifting on even the rockiest, muddiest or steepest trails. Because Shimano’s 10-speed system allows you to spend more time in middle ring gears, they’ve made the new XTR triple crankset’s 32-tooth middle chainring out of titanium and carbon for greater durability. The 24-tooth smallest ring makes shifting smoother and faster, and minimizes the need for recovery shifts to maintain cadence. At the other extreme, the 42-tooth chainring is more rider-friendly than a 44, so you’ll be able to use it more often. Remaining true to Shimano’s decades-long legacy of Mountain Bike drivetrain mastery, the XTR Dyna-Sys triple crankset features hollow-forged Duraluminum, integrated spider and rugged steel axle to provide a winning balance of strength, rigidity, weight and performance.

2011 Access Stealth 4.0 29er Mountain Bike $1299 2011 Access Stealth 4.0 29er Mountain Bike. The Access Stealth 4.0 29er mountain bike is a Shimano Deore-equipped hardtail based on the same lightweight monocoque carbon frame found on the XTR-equipped Stealth 1.0. With its Rock Shox Tora TK fork, hydraulic disc brakes and Stan’s ZTR Arch wheelset, the 27-speed Stealth 4.0 is a high-performance XC rocket with a premium pedigree and an attractive price tag.

2011 Access Stealth 3.0 29er Mountain Bike $1799 2011 Access Stealth 3.0 29er Mountain Bike. The Access Stealth 3.0 29er mountain bike proves that you don’t always have to get the top-of-the-line model to get top performance. Two steps removed from the XTR-equipped Stealth 1.0, the Stealth 3.0 shares the same lightweight carbon monocoque frame, and it’s equipped with a 100mm-travel Fox 32 F29 RL fork, Shimano’s reliable SLX components, and a Stan’s ZTR Flow wheelset shod with The Raven tubeless-ready tires. Granted, the Stealth 3.0 does weigh a skosh more than the 1.0, but when it comes to trail-taming XC performance, it’s a highly capable ride with nothing to hide.

Shimano XTR SL-M980 RapidFire Plus 10-Speed Shift Levers $199.99 Shimano XTR SL-M980 RapidFire Plus 10-Speed Shift Levers. Shimano’s new Dyna-Sys 10-speed drivetrain technology makes the legendarily flawless XTR RapidFire plus shifting even smoother and more precise than before. The new XTR RapidFire Plus shift levers feature improved ergonomics, anti-slip surfaces to enhance lever control and four-bearing construction for ultra-slick Mountain Bike shifting performance. Plus, instant-release, multi-release and two-way release technology give you the versatility to set up your shifters to match your preferred shifting and riding style. Choose instant release for the fastest shifts, or multi-release for grabbing two gears at once in either direction. The two-way release feature accommodates different shifting preferences with an upper lever that swings both ways, giving you the choice of either index finger or thumb activation. Even more remarkable than the slew of new features Shimano managed to pack into these compact gizmos is the fact that they priced the all-new XTR RapidFire Plus shifters the same as last year’s model. More go for the same dough? Dmo arigat, Shimano.
