Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Is Shimano 2200 the same as Sora

I've been receiving some confusing information about these two groups. I know 2200 is bottom of the barrel but i'm heard its outdated sora components.

Also, I heard sora group is upgrading to 9 speed rear cog this year, would that mean that group would head down to 2200 level?

Indeed 2200 is one below Sora, and they probably do use the old tech for Sora on it.

2200 is typically found on hybrids...although Trek used 2200 are the front derailleur on the 1000 road bike.
