It will fit somewhere between XT and LX pricewise, or so they claim but functionally its a different breed. Its kind of a mix of XT, XTR, and Saint for aggressive riding. Seems shimano is moving away from the traditional method of having refining similar parts as the group gets more expensive. Functionally their groups have been more or less the same traditionally. Now they are targeting different groupsets directly at different types of riding which kind of makes more sense than the one size fits all system. XT and XTR will remain the do it all and XC groups. We'll have to see what happens to LX. Saint is now a complete groupset for 05 designed around downhill, freeriding, jumping, etc, Hone is a low cost group for aggressive riders who want something more durable than XT/XTR but don't require anything as extreme and heavy as Saint. |
