Shimano has released its new Sora road groupset, featuring mechanical disc brakes and E-THRU road wheels, for winter and urban commuting bikes
Forming the first part of its new 2017 road bike products, the new Sora (R3000) groupset remains nine-speed, but visually takes plenty of cues from its more expensive siblings.
There's a four-arm crankset, which takes on the two-tone black-grey gloss finish that first appeared on the top-level Dura-Ace, and which also now features on the Ultegra and 105 groups.

Gearing and cranksets
The cranksets are available in double (50-34t) or triple (50-39-30t) configurations, and can be combined with a large-range 11-34t cassette to spin easily up the hills, thanks to the inclusion of two extra teeth on the cassette over the previous Sora.
