Technologies Behind Shimano Altus Gears
Like all Shimano gears, the Altus series also impresses with innovative technologies. Shimano Altus enables a smooth riding experience, especially for those new to the MTB game. Every Shimano Altus drivetrain relies on precise, smooth shifting that adapts optimally to changing terrain conditions. One highlight of the series is the HG Hyperglide technology, which ensures smooth transitions between gears thanks to carefully manufactured tooth profiles and matching sprockets – perfect for even pedaling, even on challenging climbs.
Another plus is the robust construction of the components. Shimano Altus rear derailleurs feature an optimized spring tension that prevents the chain from chaining, even on uneven terrain. The Shimano Altus series shifters, on the other hand, score points with 2-way release technology that gives you flexible and intuitive on-bike shifting options.
As you can see, Shimano Altus combines reliability with ease of use, making it the perfect choice for recreational riders who value quality and easy maintenance.
From Shifters and Front Derailleurs to Complete Rear Derailleurs – Shimano Altus Components
The Shimano Altus series offers a wide range of shifting components that are ideal for those just getting into mountain biking. From precise shifters to robust rear derailleurs, each component is designed to give you a reliable and comfortable riding experience. Here is an overview of the most important components:
- Shimano Altus rear derailleurs: The rear derailleurs of the Altus series, such as the RD-M2000, impress with optimized spring tension and precise shifting. They enable a smooth transition across several gear steps. With their capacity for 3x9-speed drivetrains and a maximum sprocket size of up to 36 teeth, they offer a wide gear range and are therefore ideal for varied terrain.
- Shimano Altus front derailleurs: The Altus front derailleurs are also designed for 3x9-speed or alternatively 3x7/8-speed drivetrains. They ensure precise gear changes between the front chainrings and guarantee an efficient power flow by making optimal use of the teeth of the chainrings. Thanks to their robust construction, performance on the bike remains constant even under load.
- Shimano Altus shift levers: The shift levers of the Altus series make changing gears easier with their clever 2-Way-Release function, which allows for both pushing and pulling. They ensure that the chain glides smoothly over the teeth of the sprockets. This flexibility ensures smooth gear changes, no matter what the riding situation. Their ergonomic design also protects your wrists and offers safety on longer tours.
- Shimano Altus complete drivetrains: Shimano's Altus series complete drivetrains are a set of rear derailleur, shifters and front derailleur. With carefully matched components and a capacity for multiple gear ranges, they ensure efficiency and reliability on any terrain.
