I’m hoping Shimano continues to offer piecemeal drivetrains v. the crate-motor setup that SRAM uses. As nice as the Deore cranks look I’d like to see RF Cinch showing up for the adjustable chainlines and it’s nice for product managers to have some flexibility to bring clutches down to lower price points.
I think Deore 12spd looks brilliant but I also think a smart PM will be able to min-max the 11-spd 11-51t option combined with the 4-Piston non-ServoWave brakes to blow some minds. I’ll trade the MicroSpline and better shifting under load of the 12spd for better tires or lower price.
If there’s any product managers reading this, for the love of bicycles upgrade the rotors on any Deore bikes!!! No more Resin Only BS!
