Very quick trickle-down.

 

So happy they're keeping the 10 speed bits alive!

 

Wondering if the Cable Pull ratios are the same on the 10 and 11 speed rear derailleurs...

It's about time looks good

Nice. Those brakes will be going on my Scott Scale a.s.a.p.

Always liked the slx look a bit more than xt. Great that there are more 11 speed options out there, can save cash on consumables like cassettes, chains etc.

They look relatively unchanged other than the nice colour/grfx?

Going to be upgrading my ht from XT 3x10 to SLx 2X11

 

Will keep my XT brakes though.

What...no 12 speed

[NicoBoshoff]

Really awesome. Was wondering whether the 12sp lunacy was going to hit Shimano. Glad good business sense prevailed.

 

So around R9k for full groupset?

[Brawler]

Brilliant!

I got excited to see that they're still doing 10sp in the hope that there would be upgrades to the cassette size, but alas, we're still stuck with the 11-36T.  A stock 11-40 would be great!

Stock 11-40 would be nice, but they are aiming it at the 3x crowd so no point for them really.

They could kill two birds with one stone though by catching the 1x10 users at the same time.

 

Unless of course they are hoping the 1x10 users will go slx 1x11.

Well done Shimano. All over this as soon as I get the right excuse or special from oom Chris
