There is quality ratings in MTB componentry specifically the deraileurs
and brake components and hubs, the rating scheme is used for all those items and is below. . The ranking is in order from lowest to highest. Shimano: ------------------ 5) Altus (junk) 4) Deore (suitable for ordinary to low level intermediate riding) 3) Deore LX (above average for intermediate to advanced riding) 2) Deore XT (high end componentry with high precision for intermediate to advanced riding) 1) Deore XTR (high end componentry with ultimate precision for intermediate to advanced riding) SRAM: ------------------- 10)X1 Lower quality bikes have components in this ranking, bikes that typically aren't used for serious MTBing 9) X2 8) X3 7) X4 6) X5 5) X6 ----------------------------- those below this line are for intermediate to advanced riding 4) X7 3) X8 - 2) X9 - same performance as X0 but weighs more 1) X0 - the elite, for advanced riding, incredibly light and precise |

They make some that have no product line whatsoever, or are labeled "SIS". THOSE are absolute junk, not even fit for riding around the neighborhood. Altus may be OK for very non-technical riding. They also have (or have had) an "Acera" line, which I think is slightly better than Altus. -- -BB- To e-mail me, unmunge my address |

It's not about the bike, but the rider. Even junk components can take
you riding on very technical trails. I did all of Moab's Slickrock and the Poison Spider trail with a low-end POS pink-and-green Ross Mt. Hood. No problems('cept we got a little lost on the Poison Spider, and ran out of water. No prob, as Utah then decided to rain on us.). Tom |

Happy to be corrected if I am wrong. No I think you got it right, they are no longer produced and sold, thus not mentioned. |
