Has a juicy midrange
Overnight Shimano released details of the new M8000 Deore XT groupset, to officially be launched later this year.
Not surprisingly, a lot of inspiration has carried down from XTR, not the least in that it's gone 11-sp, and keeping the options of 1x, 2x & 3x cranks. An 11-42 cassette has been added, suggested specifically for 1x, alongside the 11-40 introduced with XTR.
Front derailleurs adopt the "side-swing" design, and as with XTR, regular top- & bottom-swing versions are also available for frames that don't allow the front cable entry routing.
Brakes are an evolution of the current model.
No word at this stage of a Di2 option.
