Shimano‘s Deore lineup has been a staple for mountain bikers since the sport’s inception and this year, the new and improved Deore line has something for everyone. This release is broken down into three main tiers, M6100 12-speed, M5100 11-speed, and M4100 10-speed. There’s a lot to go through here, so continue reading for more details.
The new Deore 12-speed features trickle-down tech from its higher-end siblings with a wide-range 10-51t gearing, Hyperglide+ shifting, and a Micro Spline freehub design. This package will be available immediately. Pricing is posted below.
