Those brands acquired by SRAM were ‘second-tier’ brands. Gripshift was originally intended for children / commuting / non-serious cyclist. I went for SRAM because of the ‘cool’ factor but got back to Shimano ever since. Been there, done that
on my hardtail i have shimano components, on my fully which i purchased later i have sram components: the drivetrain is XX1 and i defintely had to get use to the gripshift but quite love it now, there is no faster way of shifting
1. It's "clipless* pedal" not "clickless pedal" 2. the clipless pedal was invented by Look in 1982 and introduced in 1984. Shimano licensed the Look system and when the license ran out, developed the SPD-SL system from it, introduced in 2003. It uses the same three-bolt sole pattern for to attach the cleats to the shoe. Shimano did invent the SPD system for MTBs though, featuring a double-sided mechanism and a recessed cleat that makes walking easier.
I run campy only on road bikes (cycling). For mountain biking I run a mixed of shimano and sram (don’t make mistake mountain biking is not the same s cycling!).

For me, the history is enough to pick Shimano.

Shimano! Nuff said!
I have 4 bikes. 3 Shimano and 1 Sram. Sram is ok but I probably won’t buy it again. Shimano is sensational.

here when u buy an nx you can have slx or xt

Wasn't the first Lipless Pedal made by Look and not Shimano?
Clipless* pedal. Other than that, you're correct.
Shimano. End of.
