New entry-level road group and Deore mountain bike kit

Author: James Costley-White

2009 Deore

The new Deore is Shimano's 'workhorse' groupset and slots in below SLX. It is available in two versions – mountain bike or trekking/hybrid - and should start to hit the shops in June.

With its classy 'galaxy black' finish and trickle-down features from Shimano's higher end groupsets, you'd be hard pressed to tell it's aimed at the budget conscious.

The shifters and brake levers have been designed to work perfectly together, to the extent that the brake hose and gear cable even exit at the same angle to cut down on cockpit clutter.
