When Shimano launched XTR for its MTB riders last year, it offered a 9-45t rear cassette, and while we don\u2019t expect to see a 9t sprocket on the road as the UCI commissaires may really get antsy with gear restriction, a 10t is far from out of the question to match SRAM.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-2NBQWNBKQbLa9yYNfxKuqM\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-2NBQWNBKQbLa9yYNfxKuqM slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__header\">Get The Leadout Newsletter<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<footer class=\"newsletter-form__footer \">By submitting your information you agree to the Terms &amp; Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.<\/footer>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">What we also couldn&#8217;t see, but do understand from reports online, is that this bump up from 12 to 13 speed necessitates a new freehub body, so if you\u2019re running a standard Shimano HG freehub you will need to factor that change in.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-dd543c46-9e5f-11f1-8a9e-5925ba11c378\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qk2JcqjKgAsiVuJBNtiHFV-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qk2JcqjKgAsiVuJBNtiHFV-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qk2JcqjKgAsiVuJBNtiHFV-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qk2JcqjKgAsiVuJBNtiHFV-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qk2JcqjKgAsiVuJBNtiHFV-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qk2JcqjKgAsiVuJBNtiHFV-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Cyclingnews)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"alloy-cranks-still-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Alloy cranks, still<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-89509d2e-96f3-11f1-8af2-819c984143e6\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Aside from the missing branding and the newly designed power meter, the cranks look a lot like the existing ones.

He\u2019s tried his hand at most cycling disciplines, from the standard mix of road, gravel, and mountain bike, to the more unusual like bike polo and tracklocross. He\u2019s made his own bike frames, covered tech news from the biggest races on the planet, and published countless premium galleries thanks to his excellent photographic eye. Also, given he doesn\u2019t ever ride indoors he\u2019s become a real expert on foul-weather riding gear.

aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">While SRAM Red (the road-going version) is 12-speed, its XPLR range is 13, and both Campagnolo\u2019s Record and Super Record groupsets are too, as are its Ekar off-road components. As expected, the latest Dura-Ace has caught up, offering that extra sprocket at the rear.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The image above clearly shows 13 sprockets on the cassette. What can&#8217;t be deciphered, however, is how big that small sprocket is. When Shimano launched XTR for its MTB riders last year, it offered a 9-45t rear cassette, and while we don\u2019t expect to see a 9t sprocket on the road as the UCI commissaires may really get antsy with gear restriction, a 10t is far from out of the question to match SRAM.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-2NBQWNBKQbLa9yYNfxKuqM\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-2NBQWNBKQbLa9yYNfxKuqM slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__header\">Get The Leadout Newsletter<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<footer class=\"newsletter-form__footer \">By submitting your information you agree to the Terms &amp; Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.<\/footer>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">What we also couldn&#8217;t see, but do understand from reports online, is that this bump up from 12 to 13 speed necessitates a new freehub body, so if you\u2019re running a standard Shimano HG freehub you will need to factor that change in.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-dd543c46-9e5f-11f1-8a9e-5925ba11c378\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qk2JcqjKgAsiVuJBNtiHFV-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qk2JcqjKgAsiVuJBNtiHFV-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qk2JcqjKgAsiVuJBNtiHFV-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qk2JcqjKgAsiVuJBNtiHFV-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qk2JcqjKgAsiVuJBNtiHFV-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qk2JcqjKgAsiVuJBNtiHFV-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Cyclingnews)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"alloy-cranks-still-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Alloy cranks, still<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-89509d2e-96f3-11f1-8af2-819c984143e6\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Aside from the missing branding and the newly designed power meter, the cranks look a lot like the existing ones.

He\u2019s tried his hand at most cycling disciplines, from the standard mix of road, gravel, and mountain bike, to the more unusual like bike polo and tracklocross. He\u2019s made his own bike frames, covered tech news from the biggest races on the planet, and published countless premium galleries thanks to his excellent photographic eye. Also, given he doesn\u2019t ever ride indoors he\u2019s become a real expert on foul-weather riding gear.

aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">While SRAM Red (the road-going version) is 12-speed, its XPLR range is 13, and both Campagnolo\u2019s Record and Super Record groupsets are too, as are its Ekar off-road components. As expected, the latest Dura-Ace has caught up, offering that extra sprocket at the rear.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The image above clearly shows 13 sprockets on the cassette. What can&#8217;t be deciphered, however, is how big that small sprocket is. When Shimano launched XTR for its MTB riders last year, it offered a 9-45t rear cassette, and while we don\u2019t expect to see a 9t sprocket on the road as the UCI commissaires may really get antsy with gear restriction, a 10t is far from out of the question to match SRAM.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-2NBQWNBKQbLa9yYNfxKuqM\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-2NBQWNBKQbLa9yYNfxKuqM slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__header\">Get The Leadout Newsletter<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<footer class=\"newsletter-form__footer \">By submitting your information you agree to the Terms &amp; Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.<\/footer>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">What we also couldn&#8217;t see, but do understand from reports online, is that this bump up from 12 to 13 speed necessitates a new freehub body, so if you\u2019re running a standard Shimano HG freehub you will need to factor that change in.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-dd543c46-9e5f-11f1-8a9e-5925ba11c378\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qk2JcqjKgAsiVuJBNtiHFV-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qk2JcqjKgAsiVuJBNtiHFV-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qk2JcqjKgAsiVuJBNtiHFV-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qk2JcqjKgAsiVuJBNtiHFV-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qk2JcqjKgAsiVuJBNtiHFV-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/qk2JcqjKgAsiVuJBNtiHFV-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Cyclingnews)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"alloy-cranks-still-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Alloy cranks, still<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-89509d2e-96f3-11f1-8af2-819c984143e6\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Aside from the missing branding and the newly designed power meter, the cranks look a lot like the existing ones.
