Shimano Altus

Investing in top-quality cycling equipment will ensure you get the best performance from your bike and optimise your cycling experience. Whether you are commuting to work by bike or exploring local trails in your leisure time, we have an extensive range of bikes and cycling kit to suit you, and we can help you find the best fit for your lifestyle and your budget. Shimano bike components are renowned for excellence, and we often recommend these to cyclists of all levels.

Shimano Altus has been a popular component series for sports bikes since 1978, taking its name from the word ‘alto’, which means high. This is a high-performance components series that is ideal for sports bikes and includes several cost-effective components that will upgrade your riding experience. From derailleurs to brake levers, this is equipment you can rely on, and we offer fitting and repair services if required.

The quality of your brakes will have a big influence on the way you cycle, and we love the high-performance, low-profile hydraulic urban disc brake from Shimano Altus. This Front Calliper Disc Brake has a one-way internal fluid circuit that makes bleeding easy and an opposed 2-piston design that reduces leading effect and increases braking control. As with all Shimano components, functionality is key, and when you find the right combination for your bike model, you’ll notice the difference straight away.

The Shimano Altus RD-M310 Rear Derailleur is a great choice for extending your gear capabilities, and the light-action operation and oversized pulleys make it easy to work with. The oversized 13/15-tooth tension and guide pulleys are designed to reduce noise and wear, and this is 7- and 8-speed compatible. Our full catalogue features solutions for every model, and we’ll help you to find the best fit.
