So after doing some reading on the new Terminator 8000 groupset Shimano have made some interesting choices:
- 10 speed cassette
- No clutch
- QR + centrelock dynamo...with no TA option
- Updated crank arm with old triple spider
- Longer brake lever
- No drop bar options...means people have to stick with MicroShift
Looks like it's more suited to flat bar road/gravel bikes rather than full blown bikepacking/expedition bikes.
This would be a crazy groupset to spec for something like riding from London to China via Indonesia or something. This is built for bulletproof parts interchangeability.
- 10 speed cassette
