The Shimano 105 – 12 Speed Groupset
The new, lightweight Shimano 105 Mechanical groupset offers Premium Mechanical Shifting, which means riders can capture that natural riding feeling without worrying about battery levels – while still enjoying the comfort and range of a premium 12-speed groupset. Shimano 105 Mechanical 12-speed comes with an RD-R7100 rear derailleur infused with Shimano Shadow RD technology. This offers a low profile and single-tension construction, giving riders a smooth, efficient, and silent performance, while the FD-R7100 front derailleur features toggle-link construction. This means riders can rely on hassle-free shifting, whether going up to the larger chainring or dropping down to the small one.

Shimano 105: All-round Drivetrain
With the jump to 12-speed, Shimano 105 R7100 Mechanical delivers the high and low gearing that riders want, along with an intelligent progression of gear steps in between. This is the result of optimized drivetrain components, including 11-34T and 11-36T cassette options, while the FC-R7100 HOLLOWTECH II 12-speed cranksets have 50-34T and 52-36T chainring options.

Using 50-34T chainrings with an 11-34T, or even an 11-36T cassette means riders can climb any mountain while keeping their cadence efficient and manageable up those long, steady climbs. Additionally, Shimano 105 Mechanical’s semi-compact 52-36T setup will reduce the chance of spinning out mid-descent or when sprinting on the flats.
