XTR M9100 Bike Check with Greg Callaghan

We caught up with Greg Callaghan of the Cube Action Team at Round 4 of the Enduro World Series - Petzen/Jamnica. Greg was the latest Enduro athlete to debut the newest XTR drivetrain on board his Cube Stereo SHPC C68 150. Greg chose to ride the XTR M9120 1x12-speed Enduro Spec.

The XTR M9120 1x12 drivetrain features a 10-45t cassette, using the new XTR Short Cage derailleur for greater and fewer chain links for the most stable and lightest set-up available.

One of the first things people notice about the new XTR brakes is the new band clamp positioning. The clamp has been moved inbound and by adding an additional contact point on the handlebar it created a stiffer brake feeling.

The muddy conditions in Austria/Slovenia were the perfect place for Greg to put XTR M9120 to the test.
