New Deore for MTB and Trekking
It looks like a new top-level component group with its high tech features and aggressive shiny black and silver appearance. But it’s not. This is the new DEORE, Shimano’s workhorse with a wide range of components for Mountain Biking, Trekking and Cross/Hybrid bikes.
DEORE features a lot of new technology that was introduced in Shimano’s high end mountain bike groups over the last few years: a SHADOW rear derailleur, 2-Way Release RAPIDFIRE PLUS shifters and powerful 2-piston hydraulic disc brakes. As a novelty, DEORE disc brakes have an improved oil routing that ensures that no air bubbles will stay in the caliper. The brake levers have been developed with a tool-less reach adjust and an open clamp band with hinge construction. Of course also a V-BRAKE version will be available and hubs with and without CENTER LOCK mount for disc brakes. The new DEORE MTB crankset FC-M590 has a 2-piece solid crank arm construction with outboard bearings and an integrated bottom bracket for increased rigidity with less weight. Gearing options: 44-32-22T and 48-36-26T. This crankset will be available in black and silver.
Components for Trekking and Hybrid bikes
Shimano also introduces DEORE components specifically for Trekking and Hybrid bicycles. Examples are a conventional Top Normal rear derailleur and an integrated shifter/brake lever set with a large optical gear display. It features a 3-finger lever blade with an integrated bumper stop for relaxed and silent riding. DEORE Crankset FC-M591 also has a 2-piece construction with outboard bearings. Furthermore it features HYPERDRIVE chainrings with an aluminum outer ring and a new chain guard design (48T version). Gearing options: 44-32-22T, 48-36-26T. It will be available in galaxy black and silver and is compatible with the use of a chain case.
The new DEORE suits a wide range of bicycle types and excels in its price/performance ratio. These components ensure worry-free cycling fun, whether on or off the road.
Availability in the market:
June 2009 (DEORE components for MTB)
August 2009 (DEORE components for Trekking/Hybrid bikes)
