With all the new products flying out of Sea Otter you would think we’d seen it all. Shimano has been busy to say the least. Though it’s obvious e-bikes are here to stay, nothing validates it more when Shimano develops a complete XT-level e-bike drivetrain. Surprising us even further, after SRAM kills off the front derailleur, Shimano develops a new triple as the centerpiece to their XT touring drivetrain complete with dynamo hub! Also RockShox’s new lightweight SID fork and Cannondale new Scalpel Si take XC to the next level, plus much, much more…

All links open in a new tab for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

okay, I see a photo of what looks like a Shimano gearbox, but see no mention of it anywhere within the article. Am I missing something?
