Shimano Inc. is headquarters and has a wide range of functions, including planning, development, design, manufacturing, and various other support functions for supplying bicycle components, fishing tackle and rowing equipment.

Is Shimano a quality brand?

Both SRAM and Shimano offer top-of-the-line components for the best mountain and gravel bikes on the market. If you're looking for the footnotes: SRAM vs. Shimano has been the proverbial “Coke-Pepsi” test in bike components for decades.
