Shimano at Eurobike

We will show our new METREA urban concept bike on display. We will also demonstrate our e-bike commitment with new STEPS technology in the form of a light off-road setup. Recently released products, such as Deore XT M8000 and 2016 footwear, are bound to be attracting plenty of attention too.

Before the show opens its doors, Eurobike’s Demo Day gives trade visitors and journalists the chance to test ride our XTR and Deore XT groupsets, our hydraulic road disc brakes and our SHIMANO STEPS city or light off-road e-bikes, and take a tour in our brand new events truck.

Here’s a sneak peek for what each section has to offer:

Shimano Road

•    Test the shifting of groupsets from Dura-Ace (Di2 and mechanical), Ultegra (Di2 and mechanical), 105 and Tiagra.
•    See how Shimano hydraulic and cable-operated disc brakes perform.
•    Shimano’s disc- and rim-brake wheel line-up will be on display, from professional level Dura-Ace to its competitive level RS-81 wheels.
