Absolute reliability is Shimano’s promise. Industry–standard precision engineered into every shift and stop. The technology trickles down from racing-grade performance so your brakes engage true and your gears shift flawlessly every ride.
The Shimano Story
Shimano was founded in 1921 in Sakai, Japan, by Shozaburo Shimano. Originally making gears for bicycles, the company grew into the global standard-bearer for bike component engineering. Early innovations included index shifting, dual-pivot rim brakes, and clipless pedals—each introduced first in top-level road and mountain-bike gear before being refined and offered across more affordable ranges.
Today that heritage shapes your ride. Technologies proven at the highest levels make their way into Shimano’s Brakes, Derailleurs, Chains, Pedals and Shoes so you benefit from pro-grade performance without paying pro team prices.
