Is Shimano A SLX?
Shimano’s SLX is a mid-range mountain bike group with features that should appeal to most mountain bike riders. It is offered in a 1×11 option with a wide-range cassette that has a big 46-tooth large cog that makes climbing steep singletrack easier. SLX occupies the middle of Shimano’s mountain bike drivetrain lineup.
