Review from
Bikeradar
Unlike the original Saint behemoth of a rear mech, this new unit embraces low profile Shadow technology and ditches the built-in axle. We've clobbered ours a few times without any shifting problems or damage to it - this new unit is likely to outlast a lighter mech.
The spring tension is stronger than on previous Shimano mechs, which makes the shifting heavier, but it's as solid as a rock through the rough stuff. The general build is ready to take a few hits.
We're really impressed with the durability, function and appearance of the renovated Saint kit.
In conclusion...
Fantastic shifting for hardcore riders, well worth a look
Rating: 4/5
