Grupo Deore para 2006


Shimano's Deore group has always been kind of a shire horse of the component world - not all that pretty, not all that light, but cheap to run and gets on with the job without complaint. Not that we've got any idea if shire horses are cheap to run, but we digress. The new 2006 Deore incarnation, due out in September, looks set to maintain the tradition of economically-priced performance while adding a dash of tech from the posher groups. Deore's been completely redesigned, bringing some of the funky stuff from XTR and XT to a more accessible price point.

Cranks stick with the Octalink BB system Dual Control trickles down to Deore level Hydraulic discs come with long-awaited 180mm rotor option Low-Normal mech is standard issue New hubs get Centerlock rotor mounts. The most obviously new things are the Deore Dual Control levers. The design is nigh-on identical to the LX and XT versions, but there's a bit more plastic in the Deore units. As with the rest of the components, the levers are available in black or silver versions for maximum colour coordination. Two versions are available to work with cable or hydraulic brakes.
Equipamento impecável, a um preço de acordo com as nossos bolsos...
