"Shimano Unveils Affordable 8-Speed ESSA Groupset for Budget Bikes"

Shimano has released a new 1x8-speed drivetrain called Essa, compatible with their current 8-speed systems. With a 409% gear range, it offers a smaller range than 12-speed variants but could still be suitable for mountain biking. The drivetrain utilizes Hyperglide tooth profile and is priced at around $160 USD. Additionally, new shifters for the Cues family of drivetrains have been introduced, designed for smaller-handed riders. No news yet on 12-speed offerings or electric shifting.

Classified introduces game-changing 2x drivetrain for mountain bikes.

Classified has entered the mountain bike market with its Powershift Boost hub system, which offers a two-speed gear system housed in the rear hub, retaining the range and gearing of a 2x setup without the need for a front derailleur. The system is compatible with 11- and 12-speed mountain bike groupsets and is available with a new 11-40t 12-speed cassette and a bar-mounted remote called the Ringshifter. Classified claims the gear range of 530 per cent is the largest of any drivetrain on the market. The Ringshifter is a wireless shifter mounted to the handlebar that controls the two-speed hub.
