To get this level of performance, finish and attention to detail on such an affordable groupset is hugely impressive.

It will also be a little while longer before 11 speed becomes obsolete. With all the top tier Shimano groups being 11-speed you’ll find it easy to upgrade to them and this should help to make it easier to find parts in the future. Both Shimano Tiagra and Shimano 105 use the same ratio of gear cable pull to rear derailleur movement, so you can fit a 105 derailleur in Tiagra system if you want to Should you decide that you want to start with the 105 version, you will arguably have more options. Or at least, upgrading can be done more easily.

The hoods are comfortable to perch on and the levers to use, and there’s a solid feel to the shifting and braking. Unfortunately we can no longer get hold of the HG50 cassette in the 11-32T ratio, but we do have plenty of other Shimano cassettes in the 11-32T ration that can be fitted and used instead. The nearest equivalent performance wise would be the HG400, these are SJSC part number 36278. I’ve spent way more time in the bike trade than anyone should reasonably want to. In that time I’ve wanted to make cycling jargon and marketing easier to cut through to help people get the bike of their dreams. Admittedly, the Tiagra shifting isn't as light but it's forgivable considering the price difference. The concept of this design is that the twin pivot design will apply equal force through each arm. So the braking will be consistent and deliver equal amounts of power and control.

The other major difference between the two groupsets is that the 105 brakes are considerably better than Tiagra ones. They are a real highlight both in terms of all-out power and fingertip control. Aside from the chainset, the new shifters are the most visible change from the previous Tiagra groupsets. The gear indicator windows have been lost and the size and shape are much like 105. Our reviewers are experienced cyclists that we trust to be objective. While we strive to ensure that opinions expressed However, a triple chainset is only available with Tiagra so that is something Tiagra has over 105. Dual Pivot Brakes an average of the other scores: it reflects both a product's function and value – with value determined by how a productis also available in a direct mount option (you need to have a compatible frame and fork) where the brake arms bolt straight on to the frame/fork rather than via a central bolt. There is no Tiagra direct mount option. Disc brakes Unfortunately I can foresee a Phase 4 when the 105 shifters give up the ghost. Will I be able to replace them with new Tiagra shifters and be able to swap between the XT and 105 mechs as the mood takes me? Or is the 'revised cable pitch' a bit of built in obsolescence?
