Just in: Shimano Yumeya lightweight kit
Pimp your bike to the max with the Dream Workshop
Published:
Shimano’s full range of Yumeya upgrades for their XTR groupset hit BikeRadar HQ today and we’ve been dribbling over the carbon and titanium spangly bits ever since.
The Yumeya – Japanese for ‘Dream Workshop’ – kit defies any talk of credit crunch and recession, allowing you to shift a few grams and add wow factor to your machine at a total cost of £823.85.
Claimed weight savings go like this: carbon rear derailleur plates save 11g over XTR, titanium cassette sprockets save 15g for a set of 17/20T, titanium bolts shave off 25g for the full set, and the Yumeya chain cuts off 10g more.
