2007 XTR final look

The final design of the 07 XTR lineup. Almost 1lb savings over the 05/06 xtr grouppo. cranks/bottom bracket saves approx 14g-20g. Guess they chopped alot of weight somewhere (probably the xtr wheels).

“Shimano is very excited with their new XTR chainset. It’s very lightweight at 776 grams including the bottom bracket and features Shimano’s very stiff and effective Hollowtech II technology. The middle chainring is where the innovation is: a titanium core and teeth with a carbon fibre shell that improves durability by 100% while maintaining the same weight compared to the current aluminum chainring.”
