Review: Shimano's All-New XT 4-Piston Brakes
@Primoz: They really do. I keep buying Shimano, because it's what I know, with a bin of take off sets of Guide Rs in my basement. I think Shimano's 'all the power really fast' feel works really well with cheaper Deore M6000/R price point brakes, that don't have a lot of power to begin with, and gets people used to that feel. Then when they get on a set of Guide Rs on a new bike and give them a try, they just feel powerless, partially because that brake is a bit gutless, and partially because they actually do just take more input than a Deore series brake to really grab. Then people decide that they don't like SRAM brakes and the cycle continues.

First Ride: Shimano's Back in the Game With New XT and SLX 12-Speed Groups
The 11 speed XTR was never actually released, citing 'lack of interest'. It fell by the wayside in the same press release that ditched the Sylence hubs, from what I remember.

They make a single random one. I don't get it either.

Where's the New XTR? 8 Questions With Nick Murdick, Shimano MTB Product Manager
Deore 10 speed supposedly has an 11-42 cassette, but you have to use the right derailer.
If the link doesn't work, there's a Shimano compatibility chart that lists it.
