Which road shifters will work with Shimano Deore (M)610 Groupset?

Asked by: Justin Quinn

Are all Shimano road shifters compatible?

Just for clarity, current generation (10-, 11- and 12-speed) Shimano road and mountain bike components are not inter-compatible with each other because they use different cable pull ratios. For example, you couldn’t use a set of road shifters with a mountain bike rear derailleur.

Do shifters and derailleurs have to match?

No, different maker or different model with different number of “speed” shifters have different pull ratio (i.e. the length of cable pulled by a single shift). Usually it’s safe to use different model with same number of gears from the same maker.

Can I use SLX shifter with Deore derailleur?

Deore and SLX have the same cable pull, they are compatible parts (within the same speed groupset).

Is Shimano XT compatible with deore?

And here’s perhaps the best part: All of these similarities mean that new Deore is fully cross-compatible with XTR, XT and SLX 12-speed components.

Can I use road bike shifter on MTB?

Condensed Answer: If the user relies on index shifting, road shifters can be combined with MTB derailleurs when the transmission has up to 9 speeds. A 10-speed road drivetrain can also be combined with an MTB derailleur designed for 9 or fewer speeds.

Can you mix shifters and derailleurs?

In many instances, it is possible to mix different levels of shifters and derailleurs from the same brand (e.g. Dura-Ace/Ultegra/105; Red/Force/Rival; Super Record/Record/Chorus), however it’s not safe to assume that this will always be the case.

Can you mix and match Shimano components?

It is possible to mix and match as long as you get components from the same generation. For example: 9000 Dura Ace, 6800 Ultegra, and 5800 105 are all cross compatible. Each have 11-speeds in the rear, use the same cable pull per shift and use the same front derailleur design.

Are Shimano Deore good?

Shimano Deore group



The parts are durable and reliable and the price-performance ratio of this group is therefore very good. The Shimano Deore groupset is often recommended to avid beginner mountain bikers. If you want to change gears even faster while mountain biking, you can opt for a more expensive groupset.

How do I know what model Shimano shifter I have?

The shifter can be identified by model number, which is stamped on the plastic perch (under the rubber hood).

Is Zee shifter compatible with deore?

According to the following compatability chart, the Deore SL-M4100 would work with the Zee RD-M640.

Is Deore XT better than deore?

Thanks to its levers, the Deore XT operates smoother and faster and since the price difference is minimal, you should go for the greater product. The XT bests Deore in terms of weight, 148 grams versus 162, in the case of the top swing 3×10 version, even though the prices are even closer, of 30 and 22 euros.

Which is better XT or SLX?

Compared to the SLX, the new XT feels more crisp and of slightly more high-end quality. However, the price will show if it’s really worth the upgrade. On a purely functional basis, there is little to complain about on the entry-level groupset.

Can I use MTB shifter on road bike front derailleur?

The pull ratio for a road front derailleur is different than the pull ratio for a mountain front derailleur. So using an index front shifter (like triggers) for a mountain bike does not work well with a road bike front derailleur.

Can I use 11 speed derailleur with 10 speed shifter?

Can An 11-speed Derailleur Work With a 10-speed Cassette and Shifter? Condensed Answer: Shimano’s 11-speed derailleurs have a different rear shift ratio than 10-speed derailleurs and are therefore not compatible with 10-speed indexed shifters.

Is all Shimano 10 speed compatible?

All Shimano and SRAM cassettes up to 10 speed are broadly compatible. They all use Shimano’s Hyperglide II freehub body spline pattern. Cassettes with the same number of sprockets have the same sprocket spacing, sprocket width and overall width.

Will a 9 speed shifter work on a 7 speed cassette?

If you used a 7 speed cassette, with a 9 speed shifter and 7 speed derailleur you would not pull enough cable and the shifts will get mangled. If you are currently on 7 Speeds, this means you have a 7 speed wheel that will most likely NOT take a 9 speed cassette.

How do I know what model Shimano shifter I have?

The shifter can be identified by model number, which is stamped on the plastic perch (under the rubber hood).

Is deore compatible with tiagra?

The Tiagra works fine with Deore rear mechs, as the indexing is the same between road (tiagra) and MTB (deore), it’s the front that isn’t compatible hence the Panorama has the Tiagra front mech.

Can I use 11 speed derailleur with 10-speed shifter?

Can An 11-speed Derailleur Work With a 10-speed Cassette and Shifter? Condensed Answer: Shimano’s 11-speed derailleurs have a different rear shift ratio than 10-speed derailleurs and are therefore not compatible with 10-speed indexed shifters.

Can I use 12 speed derailleur with 11 speed cassette?

So you can’t use a 12 speed derailleur on an 11 speed setup or vice versa but you can you an xtr 12/11 speed shifter on an 11 speed drivetrain.
