New Shimano XTR M9100 | GMBN Tech Geek Edition

Doddy's got a full run down on the information behind the updated M9100 edition of Shimano's famous XTR drivetrain. Shimano have concentrated on the 'no compromise' aspect of this transmission, delivering a product which can be tailored to suit a riders needs without cutting corners or falling short of expectations.

In association with Shimano MTB

From Enduro specialists to cross country racers, one-by 12 speed to two-by 11 speed, 2 pot to 4 pot, Shimano's premium drivetrain offers some sleek updates to their range. The biggest change to the drivetrain is that of a re-designed 'Microspline' hub, incorporating a silent freewheel which will offer a new experience of sound on trail!

You can watch Neil's first ride and first impression of the new M9100 drivetrain over on GMBN in the links below.

I love the idea of silent hubs. I want to hear if anything is going wrong on my bike, and what's happening on the trail around me.

Like the two-point support of the XTR brake lever... Beautiful gear!

[lrzetec]

Man, I could only wish. Absolute eye candy.

[neadventures]

That silent hub would be great for mountain biking vlogers!

[kuntalkalai]

I like the scylence hub, really a piece of art

[better.better]

My vote: "Silent"
Neighborhood dogs vote: "I want to hear him coming"

One of the most detailed and precise review I have ever watched. Great work

ive got the xtr brake rotors mounted recently on my XT Brake and they are absolutly amazing. the 203 on the front is a little bit evil on the bite but it stays cool and dont changes color even after multiple agressive downhill rides it looks like new. i had other rotors and everyone changed its color quickly due to heat.

Just wow shimano really is on another level

[martinjansevanvuuren]

Shimano nailed it! Kudos for the engineers that made this possible👍

[jimrutherford]

I like the louder hubs not only because of the buzzy sound it makes but also because it alerts other trail users I'm approaching.

[markwgundert]

I really like the 1x12 and the quiet rear hub!

[KennyMinigun]

BTW, great video! Finally I've got to see how actually that single-lever shifter works.

[blueob]

Now I can be silent but deathly with that hub 😂😂

[neildaniel]

For the love of god pump that tyre up on the shed wall!!

[rochester]

The more i see modern XTR, the more i love the first gen. M900. Perfect function and style- less complicated but also more efficient, being a 3x8 transmission versus 1x12, guess we're going backwards now :)))

Shimano will always be the King. Always more reliable for me than SRAM components.

[daytch]

I like the pinch bolt cranks, they don't come loose, they have a good mating surface of the circumference.

[Rose_Butterfly]

Omg, the scylence hub is like a freecoaster, awesome, now I want one, either that or onyx

[seanoverend]

It's nice 2 dream about xtr groupsets. Reality 4 me is XT gears. Zee chainset + front brake. Slx filling in the gaps. I always will be a Shimano man.
