2012 Shimano XT launch

We're at the Shimano press launch of its revamped XT group, one of the most important in the company's lineup.

Shimano first launched its Deore XT group in 1981 and, since then, it has become a key part of the company’s mountain bike drivetrain operations. For 2012, it has revamped the now 10-speed groupset and given it many of the same features found on the latest edition of the top-end XTR lineup. We’re at Shimano’s press launch of the groupset in Lake Tahoe, California this week. Watch for detailed information and reviews as the week progresses.
