The latest XTR is the lightest around and there are loads of variants to choose from. Shimano has followed SRAM's move by using a broader linkage. More positive, faster shifts and careful cage sculpting give the most effortless feel of any front mech. The lightweight alloy cages are nickel plated for longevity, too. Dual Cam head means it'll run with top or bottom cable systems, and the angled adjuster screws can be got at through most suspension set-ups. Top swing rollover mechs are are lighter and more compact, while E-type mechs are available for mountless bikes, too, so pretty much anyone can benefit from XTR.
Ultra-fast, ultra-light and adaptable front changer in a class of its own
Front mechs are the Cinderella of any drivetrain, but never has an easy shifting life been so affordable.New XT's lighter cage brings it to within 25g of XTR, while steel cages ensure a longer lifespan. Broader linkage means burly chain bullying, and they've even nibbled a bit off the back corner for extra tyre clearance. Limiter screws are angled for easy access, it comes in every top mount/ low mount/E type you could want, and it uses a universal shimmed fit so a new bike doesn't mean a new derailleur every time. All for £25? Just buy one!
