I'm excited about this! Why am I excited about this?

Well maybe some budget 4pot brakes.

[DieselnDust]

I'm warnming up to the look of the new range. SRAM better bring out something new pronto

That's an affirmative on the 4potters!

[Eldron]

Wow. Tons of trickle down tech and 3x12spd group drops by Shimano in short order. SRAM must be nipping a bit...

 

And interchangeability between the 3 - winnner winner winner!

Shimano also announced flat mount MTB brakes for XC frames and no doubt riders will fit them to their (flat bar) gravel bikes too.

Flat mount brakes are the devil on XC bikes, not too sure we should be happy about this...

[RiverInTheRoad]

Now there is no excuse to fit SRAM NX or SX to any bike, ever. Such a pity SRAM has the OEM market cornered, their budget components are terrible.

[Fleming]

Very excited about this. My 2 year old 10sps deore has been rock solid. Haven't even changed a gear cable yet I have changed the chain.

[Super Sywurm]

I am pondering what the price of the M6100 groupset will be.

[MORNE]

these look so nice. proof that just because something is relatively cheap that it doesn't have to look like you bought it at the china mall....(i'm looking at you SX and NX).

You also better know that when you and your buddy both get bikes and he has SX/NX/GX on his and you have Deore on yours....that your casette wont look like absolute **** 500km into its life, thats if the derailleur doesn't explode first lol. i've never gotten why you'd want to coat a cassette in any sort of color....whether black or gold or whatever....the roadies still seem to have their heads screwed on straight in this regard.

 

edit: might also finally be time to upgrade my trusty Deore brakeset to the new 4 pot ones. Now just to convince the wife why she'd want my old ones on her bike

Oooooh yeah!

4pot brakes, 11clicks and at deore price points without being SRAM. Yes please.

I'll change a freebody for this.

[Me rida my bicycle]

This is great and but, it in the past price difference between XT, SLX and Deore was so small it never made sense to go full budget. So I am interested to see the prices.

[Louis for real]

Thank you shimano!

 

Hopefully the 11 speed cassette comes in at a good weight.

 

The steel chainring is awesome

 

And deore brakes can not be beat for the money.

i have xt brakes and they feel basically the same.

 

Wish they would release a wide range 8 or 9 speed group.

 

I'd be on that like a rash

[Meezo]

$300 according to the pinkbike review

[MTB-More]

From looking at the current price point the cassette would be ($ converted with NO import markup) around the 2k mark... For that price I will stick to my XO1 1x11 speed as the replacement parts cost the same. 

 

Its a lot cheaper to have 2x chainrings and swap them based on the race type you are doing than to go 12 speed and has been working well for me so will stick with 1x11 as there is nothing wrong with it
