Briefly

Shimano has introduced an all-new XTR drivetrain with wireless electronic shifting, responding to market demand, particularly from North American mountain bikers. While Shimano's mechanical drivetrains remain reliable, the new XTR Di2 addresses evolving rider expectations. Product Manager Nick Murdick noted that the delayed introduction was due to navigating numerous patents related to battery attachment for derailleur systems. This careful development process has resulted in a drivetrain that excels in durability and affordability, aiming to provide a robust alternative to existing wireless options from competitors like SRAM.
It's finally time for an all-new XTR drivetrain from Shimano, incorporating wireless electronic shifting tailored for mountain biking, reflecting evolving rider expectations.
