It’s significantly more robust than the older Alivio or Altus models it replaces. If you're building a daily driver that needs to survive rain, grit, and heavy loads, CUES is the most sensible drivetrain upgrade on the market today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eReliable Shifts.
