Are XTR brakes good?

Shimano’s flagship brakes have incredible levels of power, delivered by one of the tidiest packages on test. Brake feel is a personal thing, but I like the direct, confident feel that the XTR brakes provide – be wary, though, if you’re used to brakes from other manufacturers because they have such a distinct feel.

What is the order of Shimano MTB Groupsets?

Shimano’s mountain bike groupset hierarchy, from least expensive and technologically advanced to most, is as follows:

• Shimano Tourney.
• Shimano Altus M2000.
• Shimano Acera M3000.
• Shimano Alivio M3100.
• Shimano Deore M6100, M5100, M4100.
• Shimano SLX M7100.
• Shimano Deore XT M8050.
• Shimano Deore XT M8100.

Is Deore XT same as XT?

XT stands as a line for weight weenies seeking enhanced strength, while Deore is proper to recreational riders that look for good value products. Shimano Deore XT humors us thanks to its heavy duty construction and high-end ranking, especially that it features the Shadow Plus system.

Is XT better than GX?

The SRAM GX Eagle groupset is a worthy contender to Shimano’s XT, offering similar performance to 12-speed options. The GX is slightly cheaper than Shimano’s XT, although if you care about what it looks like, the Shimano is probably the more appealing option. If you want a superb range of gears, the SRAM wins.
