I like the new improvements on the Shimano XT lineup for this year.

20% increase in braking due to the new levers, might have to check it out

The Shimano XT shadow rear derailleur unfortunately only comes in rapid rise for now.

Those wheels look realllly sick. I hope the new XT's are as strong as the older ones

Checked some of it out at the U.S. Open.

It's pretty impressive stuff. Should be getting some to show you guys what it can do (the stuff of interst anyway for gravity/downhillers)
