Shimano XTR: The Enduro setup

Cross country has as much to do with enduro as a hundred-meter sprint has to do with motocross. That's why the Japanese are tailoring their own brand-new XTR groupset for enduro riders. In addition to a wide-range cassette, one focus is a clean cockpit, with new pedals on top.

For enduro riders, Shimano is building three new XTR-level chain guides and a new four-piston brake. The XTR stoppers on the brake lever should provide around 8 percent more stiffness and therefore a crisper braking feel. On board the lever is a reach adjustment with an easily accessible screw; a tool must be used to adjust the pressure points. In future, Shimano will ensure a uniform look on the cockpit with the SL-MT800-L part. This trigger operates cable-activated dropper posts such as those from Pro or Fox and can be connected to the brake lever via I-Spec EV. The new PD-M9120 pedal is also predestined for enduro riders, offering more grip thanks to a larger contact surface than its predecessor.

Shimano XTR: The marathon setup

Shimano doesn't stop at the front derailleur with the new XTR. There is a top groupset especially for marathon use, which can still boast a really wide range thanks to the double crankset. If you still want to switch to a single chainring, you can do so later with the new XTR thanks to the selector system.
