If this is legit; XT, XTR & X0 are all 10 speed!

Is that the electronic D12 ? shifting system ? ?

 

[rosstheboss]

10 speed SLX as well by the look of it, blimey!

Love those XTR cranks.

 

[Augustus]

both those groupsets are hideous. (imo)

that xtr chainset that looks like it's a bit Grafton esque is awful. (imo)

realise the last pretty XTR was 953. and let's face it, pretty is important.

I've honestly never considered M95X as pretty. Functionally excellant, but not pretty. The rear mech in particular is downright ugly.

EDIT: But M960 was much worse. I thought Shimano found their way again with SLX and M970.

I can now see i wont be buying any thing that's 2010/11 product. Nasty very nasty.

You really need your eyes testing, those XTR cranks are beautiful

Admittedly the X0 ones look crap though.

Agree they are nice and a lot better than the present XT-R. But that is a glossy picture. Hope the 'real' thing is that nice.
Notice no gripshifter, or short cage mech :cry:

But good no granny ring - pointless

I suspect X0 will have a gripshifter, as you can still get them (for xc racing whippet weight weenie types)

Also guess you will have cage length options too as you have now, both with Shimano & Sram

When I first saw pics of the SLX chainset a couple of years ago I though it won't look that good IRL, but it did.
