In contrast to 2010, 2011 was a bumper year for Shimano cinema. The highlight is the ‘Disk Brake’ movie - a tense, scripted, drama in 6 parts - which, sadly, features no derailleurs.

The ‘XTR (promotional)’ video is the first half of ‘The Story of XTR’, and is best watched as a whole on my page dedicated to it.
