Today Shimano proudly sets a new benchmark in mountain biking by unveiling the new market-leading component group for the Enduro, XC and Trail disciplines.
Presented to the public for the first time this evening at California's Sea Otter cycling festival, the new Shimano Deore XT M8000 raises the bar in terms of features and performance offered by successfully contemplating four different riding styles and unlimited use possibilities.
Now at 11-speed, the new DEORE XT M8000 is capable of delivering advanced performance that sets a new benchmark for mountain biking excellence. Thanks to DYNA-SYS 11 technology Shimano encourages modern mountain bikers to try their hand on all types of terrain while maintaining a highly efficient and profitable pedaling.
Designed to be used in both the XC, Enduro and Trail fields, DYNA-SYS 11 introduces durable performance thanks to the use of sophisticated materials and greater stability of the drivetrain thanks to new derailleur and chainring designs.
