XTR M9200 Di2 Finally breaks cover

[MORNE]

Say what you like about their timelines, they obviously don't care….but wanna bet that you wont be googling how to replace battery pins on these anytime soon?😅

 

 

 

[Me rida my bicycle]

Just in time when SRAM is going back to cable operated. Only joking the techy geeks will for years to come say "ag s#@t I forgot to charge the battery" 😂🤣

The cockroaches will inherit post-apocalyptic earth….

They will also be driving toyota’s and riding shimano drivetrains on their steel bicycles….

Shimano don’t last that long bro…

that’s campag

Anyway, the only real shimano guarantee we here is SA have is the knowledge that you’ll be able to buy this first from an international retailer before the local shimano distro even knows something new has been released😅

shifts up and down the cassette in less than half the time of SRAM Transmission.

"The other surprise is to find that SRAM’s Transmission is actually a touch faster shifting under a load than without. It is also slower while upshifting than downshifting, the only one in the test to do so.

It’s clear that shifting precision has come at the expense of shifting speed, but out on the trail, all test riders agree that they’d prefer a clean, smooth shift over a crunchy, fast one any day."

A theme that has been communicated across several platforms. Some riders complain that AXS shifts too slowly but that is a very deliberate decision basis the large jumps between sprockets. Di2 might shift faster in the shops wirketanf but under load that speed cannot be exploited, especially on the 10-51 cassette. The shift speed seems to be optimised more for the XCO racer using the 9-45 cassette. I didn’t like the micro drive concept 15 years ago because small sprockets and chainrings carrying big loads wear quickly. So for me the shift speed is a bit of a marketing thing and a technical miss because reliability and longevity of my drivetrain are key reasons why I prefer Eagle. If I want a smaller racier cassette I could use the XG 1271 XPLR 10-44 cassette with my eagle drivetrain and i can shift that pretty quickly with a gripshift

How does that compare to a SRAM Eagle XX1 AXS upgrade kit which directly comparable?

That includes the brakes, for the Shimano XTR groupset.

Adding ultimate brakes to the Sram XX SL would add at least 500-600 euros? Taking it to about 2,500 euros.

Meant to add that the SRAM stuff is also discounted at the moment, no dobut due to the release.

Normal price would be 3250 for the SRAM

Those Shimano shifters looks proper!

 

[Mongoose!]

Yes I know not I  the same class as XTR but has anyone have first hand experience ( not YouTube based🙃) with these?

Also wireless 

Option to choose between 3 and 14 speed.👌

About R5600 (Singapore dollar R13.84 today) before import taxes. Thus about R7K -R7.5K landed more or less with Aramex global shopper in less that two weeks...🤷‍♂️

You can adjust the Shimano shift speed to mimic slow AXS shifting, just to remind yourself why the big S is better 🙂
