What these specs mean
Shimano road groupsets
- Claris
- Sora
- TiagraThis one
- 105Also offered
- Ultegra
- Dura-Ace
10-speed. Solid for fitness riding
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.
- AXS
- SRAM’s wireless electronic shifting. No cables to adjust; each part has a battery you charge.
