There are subtle changes here as well, but you have to look closely to notice them. First up the graphics are a bit bolder, and ironically those kind of hide small changes to the lever body. The good news is that the 12-speed cassettes are compatible with the 11-speed freehubs, so there’s no need to change your wheels if you upgrade.
The shaping of the hoods remains the same (comfortable), while the rubber is supple and grippy. That’s a must for me as I ride without gloves in warm weather, and unpadded gloves in the cold. On longer downhills it feels more relaxing and natural, especially when riding in the drops. When in the hoods though (where I spend probably 90% of the time) things don’t feel any different for light braking with my top two fingers. The upper curved section is still the same, allowing your index finger to rest naturally.
A new five-inch full-color TFT display provides the rider with the option of four different themes to suit specific riding situations or individual preference. The new display is navigated through all-new integrated handlebar switches. Button shape and feel have been extensively refined to provide intuitive operation in a compact, easy-to-use solution.
According to the Bank of England’s calculator, inflation accounts for around £132 of the extra £356. The calipers are BR-7170, the same as with the Di2 groupset. These offer 10% more rotor clearance to minimise brake rub, especially hyper mountain bike when banking the bike side to side when accelerating or climbing, than Shimano’s earlier versions did. The cassettes use Shimano’s Hyperglide design, which involves shaping the teeth (and bits in between) to aid shifting.
With improved ergonomics and aesthetics, an extra cog and the continued high quality performance you expect, the 105 groupset remains a must buy. The subtle changes have improved it over the 11-speed, especially from an ergonomics point of view, and while there aren’t any huge changes in terms of performance, there really didn’t need to be. This 105 still delivers very well hyper bicycles from a performance/cost point of view, making it the all-rounder choice for everyone from racers to weekend warriors, club run attendees to commuters and tourers. The total RRP for 105 mechanical is £986.91-£1004.91, which is a bit of a jump from the £630.92 the old 105 commanded in 2020. We all know how much prices have increased across the board since then, though.
When asked he just blew it off and said it didn’t affect the race and hoped she was okay. She is totally hot so maybe she’s getting a little bit of the hot chick benefit of the doubt. Targeting modern cross-country racers, The Frame is built to be light and stiff at just 795g (M). Bike Ahead’s hardtail features contemporary fast XC geometry with a 68.5° headtube, 74° seattube, 430mm chainstays, and middle-of-the-road Reach.
So while there are no leaps or bounds in performance over the previous version, as we all know – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The Shimano 105 R7100 Mechanical 12-speed groupset has improved ergonomics while maintaining the quality shifting and braking found before. But while much of the change is incremental, this is also filling a gaping hole in the market.
The new full-carbon The Hypersaddle is hyperlight at just 70g. But with a cover for more traditional comfort and feel. The Frame is a new XC hardtail that’s of course light.

Also, as it was fitted to the Ribble CGR SL gravel bike, it was coated in mud and grit many times over too. From a performance point of view, apart from the extra cog very little has changed over the 11-speed predecessor R7000. Vittoria Corsa PRO Control is Polti Kometa team’s tire choice to tackle the most extreme weather conditions and road surfaces such as cobblestones and gravel. I feel like that was at a hyper critical point in the race and that gave Jett an extra 4 bike lengths not to mention it would have to mentally distract you for a little bit.
