These days, everyone who’s anyone has their own website. The latest incarnation of Shimano’s XTR groupset is no exception.

Perhaps slightly disappointingly you won’t find a daily journal at http://www.shimanoxtr.com/ – we were looking forward to reading XTR’s thoughts on the Middle East, how well the shifters are holding up and whether The Office is funny or not – but you will find enough tech specs to keep even the most anoraked bike geek happy, plus lots of whizzy Flash and videos of XTR in action and all that kind of jazz. Plenty of eye candy and in amongst it all some useful information.
