What? It's XTR of course it's going to be expensive, the good news is that
Shimano ALWAYS trickles down the the tech all the way to Deore.
Few advantages? I think Pete kinda glossed over the changes to the rear mech,
but they reworked it to properly shift with the 40t rear cog. No hacked long
B-tension screw and I think it will be pretty safe to presume it will have the
well known Shimano crisp shifting across the whole cassette. Look at the main
complaint of the cobbled 1x systems and it's the loss of crisp shifting.
Some of us value a true broad gear range and still agree that a 2x system is
the better system. The new front mech is going to be great for this.
