What these specs mean
Shimano road groupsets
- Claris
- Sora
- Tiagra
- 105Also offered
- Ultegra
- Dura-Ace
11 or 12-speed, mechanical or Di2. The sweet spot for most riders
A groupset is the shifters, derailleurs, brakes, crankset and cassette. Higher tiers are lighter, shift more crisply and have more gears; most riders stop noticing a difference above 105.
- Di2
- Shimano’s electronic shifting: a small motor moves the chain at the press of a button. Crisper shifts and no cable stretch; you charge it every few hundred miles, and it usually adds several hundred dollars.

Reviewer says he wanted to give the $2,899 RS7 10/10; asks what the catch is.

Good ride and great value for $2k carbon with power meter; slippery bar tape, fluctuating power readings, slim 32mm tyres.

First look at RS7 and AD9; discusses crazy low prices and whether western brands are cooked.

10-hour, 170-mile ride comparing RS7 to Cannondale Synapse 1 at same $2,100 price; shop promotes its own store.

5.0 from 3 ratings
Store star ratings run high (most products average above 4.3), so they count less than written reviews.
