Stressed Muddy Fox Fan Feedback View May 4, 2021 #1 There's a reason for those old deerhead logos. Deore means deer!
KermitGKona88 Gold Trader Overbury's Fan Feedback View May 4, 2021 #2 Do you think there is a heirarchy amongst deer with the XTR deer being at the top ?
captaincowelly Senior Retro Guru Feedback View May 5, 2021 #3 https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=deoreInteresting use of the word.Quick google seems to suggest it's derived from old English,meaning 'dear' not 'deer'.Wonder if that was a mis-translation by Shimano?Funny if it was.

Rank_21 Retro Guru May 5, 2021 #5 just checked the etymology - old English indeed Deor though seems to have Germanic/Dutch origines
Rank_21 Retro Guru May 5, 2021 #7 Don’t know what XTR could mean. XT Cross terrain/extreme and R would be race?
yakboy Manitou Fan May 5, 2021 #8 R was definitely "Race" but XT ? Extended Technology, Cross Track? No idea
captaincowelly Senior Retro Guru Feedback View May 5, 2021 #9 Yeah,R was race,maybe otherwise they just picked the 'cooler' sounding letters? Who uses W or Q?
