-Plus New Deore M610 Group, Improved/More Durable Chains, Expanded Dyna-Sys Gearing and More-
Several pieces of big news were announced today by Shimano and chief among these was the new 650B/27.5″ wheels. The Deore XT level WH-M785 and also the WH-MT35 wheels will be offered in 27.5. The new for 2013 WH-MT35 wheels will also come in 29er and 26″ versions as well as the new WH-MT15 in all 3 sizes. It is obvious from these additions that Shimano supports big wheel mountain bikes. Other big wheel friendly additions include new Dyna-sys, Deore XT and SLX components (more on those below).
The other big news was the unveiling of a new Deore mountain bike group with the designation “Deore 610″. This is an entirely new “performance” group that offers Rider Tuned customization and is redesigned with trickle-down Shimano technologies like Dyna-Sys gearing, Shadow Plus clutch rear derailleurs, ICE Technologies hydraulic disc brake systems, 2×3 chain ring mode converters. The Deore 610 offers features like:
- revolutionary Shadow+ chain stabilization
- 2×10 and 3×10 Dyna-sys drivetrain options
- Direct mount front and rear derailleurs
- ICE Technologies rotors
- compatible with 15mm front thru-axle hubs
- i-spec shifter brackets
- black and silver color options
Shimano calls the new Deore 610 “a true performance mountain bike component group available at fantastic price points.”

650B is here to stay.
Shadow+ on Deore!
BTW, any indication if the Deore Shadow+ RD will be offered in both long and medium cage versions?
The Deore 610 RD will be available in long and short cage versions. Long for 3x and short for 2x.
Is there going to be a new model # for the XT chain?
isnt it long for 2X and short for 3X ? (as the 2x has the larger rear cogs)
