Shimano

Banniere Shimano

Transmissions: Mechanical or Electrical

Whether mechanical or electric, Shimano drivetrains are simply the best in the world. Used by all manufacturers and indispensable in the cycling world, the groupsets make the brand’s reputation thanks to their reliability, lightness and outstanding precision.

Road groups

Its wide range includes the iconic 105 and Ultegra groupsets, which are designed for both leisure and competition road use and offer outstanding performance. For hardcore racers, the Dura-Ace is the masterpiece, while the Di2 version with electric derailleurs offers even greater speed and ergonomics. The groups


Ultegra Di2


and Dura-Ace Di2 groupsets are the number 1 choice of professional riders, and are used by three-quarters of World Tour teams!

For mountain bikes and fitness bikes, the Sora and Claris are perfectly suited, while urban enthusiasts will enjoy the Alfine with hub-integrated gears, particularly appreciated for its resistance to changing conditions and fickle weather.

The basis of all these groupsets is first and foremost an ultra-light aluminum structure and cutting-edge technologies such as the Dual SIS Index system or Hollowtech II cranksets, which considerably enhance the rider’s power in all circumstances.

Mountain bike groups

Mountain biking also has its own complete range of groupsets, whose maximum reliability is characterized by unique technologies such as Hyperglide and Shadow derailleurs. All Shimano MTB groupsets feature state-of-the-art cranksets, cassettes, derailleurs, hydraulic brakes and cables. In 10, 11 or even 12-speed format, the choice is exceptional and perfectly suited to all practices.

For cyclo-cross mountain biking, the most popular discipline, we have the


SLX


Deore XT or XTR drivetrains. This is the ultimate version, with a single-plate design and an electric version that amplifies the wattage gains. These groups are also ideal for all-mountain mountain biking and trail riding. They provide the precision and longevity needed to rack up the miles on trails, technical scree and mountains. For more leisurely and less sporty use, Shimano offers Tourney, Acera and Alivio groupsets with more accessible gear ratios and double or triple chainring versions.

The electric revolution: VAE motors

Shimano systems for electric bikes are the legacy of a century of successful technological innovation. Over the last 100 years, the Japanese company has changed the face of cycling. Today, it’s part of history, making the shift to electric and offering expertise in one of the most innovative VAE systems available today.

Founded on a long tradition of innovation, electric mountain bikes with Shimano Steps motors are a harmonious blend of synchronization, autonomy and power for unrivalled performance: steep slopes or tricky trails will succumb to the strength and engagement of the Steps E6100 or EP8000 version. With them, the exploration begins now!

Power and control: Equipment and peripherals

Shimano also offers a wide range of clothing and equipment for everyone. Beginners, intermediates and advanced athletes will find everything they need in the brand’s catalog. This is particularly true of shoes, which provide extra power for the athlete. The RC500 for road use and the XC701 for mountain biking are the flagship models that reflect the maximum complementarity. Triathletes will prefer the IC100s, while gravel enthusiasts will be looking for the RX8s and a very comfortable shoe with effective cleats for breaking in. And let’s not forget the powerful road and mountain bike pedals that ensure remarkable power transfer and have made the brand’s reputation over the years.

Shimano, the essential group

There’s no need to introduce the Shimano brand, well known to all cyclists for its groupsets and equipment that set the standard for amateurs and professionals alike. A true pillar of the cycling industry, Shimano Iron Works, the predecessor of Shimano Inc, was founded in 1921 by Shozaburo Shimano in the town of Sakai, Japan. The company’s first product was the simple freewheel for bicycles, the manufacture of which demanded the utmost technical skill. Since the company was founded, the head office has remained in Sakai, Shimano’s hometown. The company now offers a wide range of functions, including planning, development, design, manufacturing and various other support functions to supply bicycle components, fishing tackle and rowing equipment worldwide.
