Groupsets

Complete groupsets for road bikes, mountain bikes and gravel bikes

A complete groupset is the heart of your bike, and plays a major part in your riding experience. A groupset consists of all components that you’ll need to shift, brake and power your bike. Whether you have a road bike, mountain bike or a gravel bike, your choice of groupset is essential for the performance and handling of your bike. At Mantel, we offer complete groupsets from top-of-the-line brands like Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo, which are suitable for various levels of cyclists, ranging from recreational cyclists to professional road cyclists.

What’s included with a complete groupset?

A complete groupset generally consists of a crankset, derailleurs, shifters, chain, brakes and all necessary cables or hoses. Electronic groupsets also include batteries. Each groupset is carefully designed for perfect synchronisation between all components, resulting in smooth shifting and reliable brakes. Whether you choose mechanical or electronic shifting, you’ll push your bike to the next level with a complete groupset.

Mechanical and electronic shifting

Choosing a mechanical or electronic groupset depends on your personal preference, riding style, and budget. Mechanical groupsets provide a traditional gear-shifting system, controlled by cables. They’re more affordable and easier to maintain than electronic gear-shifting systems. Electronic groupsets, like the Shimano Di2, SRAM eTap and Campagnolo EPS, provide lightning-fast and precise gear shifting at the push of a button, and you won’t have to adjust any cables. Plus, electronic groupsets are often lighter, so they’ll provide extra functionalities like automatic trim and synchronisation with bike computers.

Disc brakes VS rim brakes

It’s important to consider what type of brakes you’d like to use when choosing a groupset. Disc brakes provide powerful braking performance and consistent braking force in all weather conditions. Rim brakes, on the other hand, are lighter and easier to maintain, but they provide less braking force in wet conditions. Many modern groupsets are designed specifically for disc brakes, but options for rim brakes are also still available.

Campagnolo produces groupsets that are well known for their smooth gear shifting and unique, Italian flair, like the Chorus and Super Record EPS.
