Curious of the differences between your XT derailleur and the top-tier XTR option? Or wondering if it's worth the extra money to get a bike with an SLX drivetrain instead of Deore? Well then you're in the right place, because in this video we've teamed up with @jensonusabicycles to test and compare all four of Shimano's 12 speed MTB drivetrains; Deore, SLX, XT and XTR, and let you know which one we think offers the best value. But that's not all, thanks to Jenson we're also giving away a full XTR drivetrain, valued at over $800! Watch the video to find the secret question, and then leave your answer in the comments of this Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CyWhprCyVBO/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== CONTEST ENDED OCTOBER 22 2023!
