Are XTR brakes good?

The new XTR brakes offer a lot of power but are much easier to modulate than previous Shimano brakes. The braking feel remained constant at all times, and even on a steep 1000 m descent, they remained in control, no fading!

Is SLX or XTR better?

Considering the price difference between XT and XTR, Shimano has done a great job of trickling down the best of XTR into a more affordable and likely more durable group of parts. SLX offers much of the same tech (12-speed, Hyperglide Plus, four-piston brake caliper), but at an even lower cost than XT.

What is the difference between XT and XTR brakes?

Along with getting all the tech from the XT brakes, the XTR kit is lighter with the callipers getting an alloy one pice design and ceramic positions to better dissipate heat. There are dedicated two piston and four piston levers, where the former gets a carbon lever blade while the latter has an alloy one.

Which brakes are better SRAM or Shimano?

I think Shimano brakes are easier to make feel good, and kept bled. SRAM brakes take a little more work and have the use of syringes. While it takes more skill to get down, once you learn it, I think it’s easier to make a consistent bleed on SRAM than Shimano brakes. Adjusting the brakes is about the same now.

Is Shimano an XTR?

As Shimano’s flagship mountain-bike drivetrain line, XTR is strong, light, and certainly not cheap.

Is Saint better than XTR?

XTR/XT/SLX 4 have same performance as Saint, provided both used with sintered pads. XTR/XT/SLX 4 weight less and are slightly less fade/heat resistant (less caliper material) vs. Saint. XTR/XT/SLX 4 levers (BL-9/8/7120) have a more flat Servo-Wave curve, providing slightly more/better modulation vs.

Do XTR pedals come with cleats?

The XTR PD-M9100 Pedals come with SM-SH51 (single release) cleats and are also compatible with SM-SH56 (multi-release) cleats.
