Shimano For MTB: Which level are you in?

Posted on 9:47 AM by The G


SHIMANO. If you are into cycling, this name will hit you like how "Justin Bieber" fanaticism hit your child. It is the brand and a sensational one indeed in cycling components. You may encounter it in fishing tackle and rowing equipment.Where they are famous too but a bit rare in my place. In the world of cycling, this one is stunningly crowding the scene. But it doesn't mean that, if you got this brand stuck on your bike, your bicycle is godly. Not necessarily. There are classes. There are levels. So which one do you belong to? Check it out. Baybeh baybeh baybeh uuuuuuh.





ENTRY LEVEL



TOURNEY. Which has been developed to give entry level bikes a turbo. It fully incorporates advanced Shimano functions including Dual SIS for front and rear index shifting, wide-range gearing and hub-dynamo capabilities. TOURNEY's finished form sets the appealing standard for entry-level components. It usually bundle with Shimano RevoShift and adopting 6-7 rear speed train. Polygon Neptune is among entry level bike has TOURNEY installed.




RECREATIONAL LEVEL


 
ALTUS. A missing link between entry level and recreational level. What set entry level apart from recreational level? It's about controls, derailing and pedaling efficiencies. Which also set its price apart. Entry level give you an introduction to minor cross country biking and some practice with gear shifting without causing a pain in your wallet. Recreational suit people with moderate mountain bikers where in weekdays need to use it to go to office or class. ALTUS has both of this. It is a 7/8-speed MTB-style component group. Excellent at saving you from loan shark (quite cheap), ALTUS provides a sensation of "peace of cake" that inspires confidence. You can find it on Polygon Premier 3.0.





ACERA. Component group that offers an 8-speed drive train.  As seen at Polygon Xtrada 2.0. It delivers the responsive feeling of a serious mountain bike to casual riders and entry-level cyclists. The best part is shifting efficiencies. It's great. Even it's your first time riding one like this, it make you feel you will win a mountain biking competition. You'll feel only. It's not that common here in my place compare to Altus. It usually bundle with other Altus component. It complete each other




SPORT LEVEL



DEORE. The one and only thing that will make your bike as awesome as what Hachiroku in Initial D did. It's strong. It's reliable. It's not a ferarri but it's tandem assassin. You're pedaling your bike (with DEORE) home after bought a burger, then the wind blow, a paper stuck at you face. You take it off and read it. Off road MTB race : 4 pm. You look at the time, 3.55 pm. You can race your bike and still got a chance to win. Because DEORE group delivers a high level of quality and performance at an excellent value. A  friendly race in the dirt to show who's boss, no problem. Cruising the woods and hunt for bigfoot, or just riding around town, shouting SAVE THE PLANET ! Shimano DEORE has the performance to match. Merida MATTS TFS 500-D is the right rig to go with.






DEORE LX. The previous Deore is already capable enough. Yet it lack one thing. Durability. This is when DEORE LX  come. It's like putting Takumi inside the Hachiroku. That will allow you to rev up your cycling power to victory. Just, please don't drift your bike. The LX features the popular and revolutionary functions from the XTR and DEORE XT groups, including the Dual Control Levers, Rapidfore Plus shifters, Hollowtech II cranks and powerful hydraulic disc brakes. Designed for those with Christopher Columbus spirit on a bike and trekking enthusiast, DEORE LX can take you to the new world, and come back at one piece. The platform to do so is the whopping 10 speed drive train, Polygon COZMIX CX 5.0. Here the component you might want to check out, DEORE LX.





EXPERT LEVEL.




DEORE XT. What differentiate from a barbaric killer and a assassin? Barbarian do it with rage and bold. Assassin do it in expert and silence. So do this DEORE XT. Its derailleur is so smooth and quiet.  Help you become one with nature. The shift is solid and light. And it stay away from rocks and other thing that prevent you from having a smooth adventure. It got looks. It is a functional fashion. All the set is awesome. Light, strong, durable and efficient. It's a tradition for the expert. It's an identity. Words can't describe it. Go out and find someone with this things installed. Give a test drive (or pedal). Then you'll likely to drop your jaw (different story if it's the first bike you'll ride). Same as when you look at this  Merida MATTS Lite 1500-D.




PRO LEVEL



XTR. Engineered for the way you ride. It's like an iphone in cycling world. Revolutionized. It is the lightest, the strongest and the most efficient set. Trail harassment? No big deal. The design is stunning. It's pimp my ride version of terminator. Even Transformers will shy away.  This is the pinnacle of mountain bike technology. XTR. Make riding like driving Bugatti Veyron. Faster control and response. You are Neo on a mountain bike. For every trail condition, you was inspired by it. It is the best for the best. About the price, didn't I mentioned Bugatti Veyron? That's the scale. But it still free to have a look. Especially at this one, Merida 0.Nine 5000-D.
