The difference between each rank SHIMANO accessories

Often have different level SHIMANO asked the 1st time difference, fittings, don't feel professional oral interpretation, want to make a written in a search on the net, found no write very detailed, but many still is the old thing, can be very responsible, carefully read this, you choose the SHIMANO parts and ease, when can definitely need.

A: what is the SHIMANO suite?

The main production of bicycle SHIMANO department of bicycle, transmission, brake parts such as we generally referred to as the package, including:
Former dial the chain (before), dial (after a chain of dial, handle (variable) dial has turned the hill, and double control handle this allocated several forms; the road have hands (STI double control handle) and allocated), former sprocket teeth (dish), after the sprocket wheel), chain, (HuaGu, brake, and all kinds of transmission line and pipe, oil pipe line and brake etc fittings and.

2: the level of the SHIMANO name:

The SHIMANO sports level with suite, mountainous cross-country from low to high name: TOURNEY, ALTUS, Acera, ALIVIO, Deore, Deore LX, Deore XT, XTR, The lower C050, SIS, present company excepted, civil variable in addition to HONE (between XT and applicable XC heavy between LX and AM), SAINT (between XTR and applicable, XT AM and FR), Applicable to small wheels, with less DXR capreo, also is discussed.

SHIMANO sports level road use suite, from low to high name: 22 and SORA, TIAGRA, 105, Ultegra, DURA - ACE, Lower for civilian A050 and SIS all would not be included.

Three: the level of the class SHIMANO positioning

Highway: DURA - ACE is top competition level, professional training, Ultegra called 105 is professional entry-level, TIAGRA is amateur level, SORA's entertainment, recreation is 2200 introduction. This one is a watershed, 105 (105) can be called the professional level.

Hill is top grade XTR: competition, top grade is Deore XT training, Deore LX is professional training level, Deore is professional entry-level ALIVIO, top grade, entertainment is Acera and ALTUS are entertainment, recreation is introductory TOURNEY. Deore is a watershed, Deore (above can be called the professional level.

Above the level of a vague, is called the entertainment is referring to the sports car ride to elaborate, below
