Shimano Component Availability Improves

Shimano has resolved supply chain issues that affected component availability throughout 2024, according to industry reports.

Dealers now report better stock levels for popular groupsets including 105 and Ultegra lines. Lead times have shortened from months to weeks for most parts.

This is welcome news for cyclists waiting on repairs or upgrades. The improved availability also means more competitive pricing as inventory normalizes.

SRAM and Campagnolo continue to offer alternatives for those looking at different options, though Shimano remains dominant in market share.

Check with your local bike shop for current availability on specific components.
