• Best value mtb groupset in you guys' opinion?

  • Always found XT - being roughly aligned with Ultegra as the good stuff you can afford - great value compared to XTR. How much better it is than SLX though...eh. Same as 105 vs Ultegra.

  • This is basically what I wanted to ask - what is the Ultegra equivalent of MTB groupsets - but that sounded stupid in my head! Thanks for the info

  • I agree with this. I buy XT but apart from saving a few grams and a better shifter mechanism, I know it is for vanity over Deore/SLX.

    @ao1989 yes, SRAM is plasticky and doesn't shift as well, especially for the lower level groupsets. I think it was only so popular because it had an extra sprocket
