Advantages: cheaper than contemporaries Disadvantages: difficult hoses
...shimano, in using a new 4 pot system have moved into the league usually dominated by Hope. the 4 pot system gives greater power than two pot systems and doesnt overheat easily. the shimano is better than the hopes because it uses two cylinders to drive the pads rather than the one cylinder that the hope uses to drive all 4 pads. the shimanos are also a lot cheaper than other systems with comparible performance, although they need expensive hubs, making them more expensive than the hope open 2s. the braided hoses are bombproof but need to be precut and the levers give superb modulation and good feel....

Advantages: value for money and great perfomance Disadvantages: takes a little setting up...
...I've been biking for a long time and have been using XT shifting gear for years now so I've seen several changes in design over the years...
This shifter has to be one of the best available as it brings together great looks, excellent performance and pretty good value for money and durability not to mention ease of set up and maintenance.
With competition increasing year on year from SRAM (the original manufacturers of the GripShift shifting system) it’s a good job Shaman aren't resting on their laurels. On the contrary, not only do Shimano mange to offer value and excellent shifting but they’ve also managed to design the unit so that it looks sleek and stylish on the bike.
Overall, highly recommended on both performance and value for money…...
