Performance by Design.
Santé
by SHIMANO
Like everything else in our modern world, the sport of cycling is changing.
While racing cyclists have always defined the performance limits of the sport, more and more of today’s recreational cyclists are discovering the joys of riding hard and fast on a quality bicycle.
Along with this trend is a growing awareness of the bicycle as an expression of a physically active and involved lifestyle that’s concerned with quality, performance, and style.
This is the reason for Santé.
Santé offers serious cyclists the high level of quality and function they have come to expect from Shimano, plus a modern new component look that more accurately expresses the performance potential of today’s bicycle.

The Santé Design Philosophy…
A new concept for today’s cycling.
Everyone knows that in the world of cycling, function is all important. But while today’s quality bicycle components offer a level of functional performance that’s better than ever, they still seem to lack a certain visual appeal. Up until now, little consideration has been given to the appearance of components in terms of upgrading and modernizing the look of the bicycle to better express its performance potential.
We at Shimano have challenged this tradition. We believe that highly functional components can also be beautiful. In this age of greater cycling participation, well-styled components can play an important new role in enhancing the appearance of the high-performance bicycle to appeal to a wider range of consumers. So we designed a new bicycle component group with this idea in mind. A component group that would offer much the same balance of form and function as found in other advanced sports equipment.
The result is Santé. The full Santé group is a new-genre component system that combines Shimano quality and advanced functions with a striking new up-to-date look of precision and high-technology.
While the Santé bicycle is sure to offer great appeal to all cycling enthusiasts (and that is perhaps where a good portion of Santé’s market lies), we also think Santé will help to create more interest in cycling among many who are currently non-cyclists. These include the young working professionals who lead active physical lifestyles and are highly aware of new fashions and recreational trends. The modern design of the Santé group creates a new sophisticated bicycle look that should help introduce many more active people to the exciting sport of cycling.

Targeting the Santé Customer…
Santé appeals to a wide range of cyclists and non-cyclists.
Who does the Santé bicycle appeal to? Just who is the Santé customer? Santé offers excellent marketing potential because it actually appeals to a wide range of cyclists, and even non-cyclists.
First of all, Santé can be recommended as the most appropriate component group for those who want to order a custom-made bicycle. Santé’s high level of quality, style, and function make it the perfect compliment to the hand made bicycle.
Santé offers almost the same level of quality and performance as pro-level components like Dura-Ace, but with a sophisticated new look. This means Santé can offer great appeal to dedicated cyclists who want to ride a better-looking bicycle, a bike that expresses a more contemporary sense of style and performance.
Santé also provides a fresh new alternative for those looking to upgrade. These cyclists want a higher quality bicycle which can help them continue to improve their performance and express their growing dedication to the sport. The Santé-equipped bicycle is the ideal machine for these people.
One advantage of selling Santé is that its appeal can extend well beyond current cycling enthusiasts. As a beautiful high-performance vehicle exhibiting a high level of performance and design quality, the Santé bicycle should create interest among active people who take pride in the fact that they recognize and appreciate quality and style in everything they own, especially their leisure tools. Santé accurately reflects their type of lifestyle.
Santé is an excellent choice for this type of highly aware consumer who is thinking about buying that first quality bicycle. While they may have little component awareness and knowledge of cycling, they will respond to the high-tech look of performance that the Santé bicycle offers.
Don’t forget, the Santé bicycle can play a valuable role in introducing the sport to the sophisticated consumer who’s not afraid to pay for quality. Care should be taken to recognize and identify this type of customer so as not to undersell them with anything less than a Santé-equipped bicycle.
Santé
Santé target customers:
●People who express an interest in purchasing a custom bicycle.
●Dedicated cyclists who want a better looking high-performance bike.
●People who want to upgrade from their present bike.
●Fashion-conscious consumers with active lifestyles.

Introducing the customer to Santé…
Santé is a new blend of style and performance that enhances the look of the bicycle.
By itself, the striking appearance of the Santé-equipped bicycle will do much to attract your customers’ attention. In many cases, Santé will sell itself to cycling enthusiasts. For this reason, it’s important to prominently display a complete bicycle carrying the full Santé component group. For maximum effect, a separate Santé component display should be set up too.
Stress to your customers that Santé is not only a beautiful new component look, but also a high-performance system featuring all of the advanced Shimano functions such as 7-speed SIS, Biopace, SLR brakes, the Shimano Freehub System, etc.
In fact, the only components that out-perform Santé are those of the pro-level Dura-Ace group. This should be explained to customers who are not racing cyclists, but are thinking about buying a top level racing bike because of its style, image, and quality. Santé can give these people a high-performance machine that’s better-looking and more reasonably priced than the traditional European-type racing bicycle.
Santé
Some sample questions about Santé and how to answer them
Q.1 Is Santé a good component system for someone who really likes to ride a lot?
A.1 Santé was developed as a high quality Shimano system group. The design emphasis was placed equally in two areas. One was on providing high-quality components with advanced functions. The other was to create a more modern component and bicycle appearance. Santé makes absolutely no sacrifices in quality or performance for the sake of appearance. In fact, Santé is one of the highest quality component groups available today, only rivaled by the best pro groups.
Q.2 What kind of surface finish is that?
A.2 Shimano uses a highly durable three-coat baked acrylic enamel finish to give Santé that beautiful and distinctive high-tech look.
Q.3 You mean they’re painted? Won’t the paint chip or crack or change color?
A.3 No it won’t. Shimano did a lot of research and testing on this point. They use a new electrostatic painting process which applies a high-voltage charge to bond the paint permanently to the surface. This process is used with the latest paint compounds and then baked on to produce a finish that’s extremely hard and durable. It’s highly scratch and mar-resistant and weatherproof too.
Q.4 Hmm. Santé sure looks good on this bike. But I’m thinking about getting a new frame with a custom paint job. Will Santé components match?
A.4 Sure they will. The basic two-tone silver and high-tech gray color scheme of Santé was specifically designed to coordinate well with all colors and paint designs. Santé components will upgrade the appearance and performance of any bike they are used on.
Q.5 Can you tell me something about those hubs? They really look sleek.
A.5 For improved appearance and a greater aerodynamic effect, the Santé hubs use a large gum cover that also serves as a dust cap and seal. The freehub looks different because it’s actually a new and improved design. The bearings have been moved closer to the dropouts. This strengthens the rear axle and increases power transfer efficiency. The Santé freehub looks better and performs better too.

Introducing the customer to Santé…
The beauty of Santé is more than just skin deep.
Besides its distinctive appearance, Santé features many advanced functions that help to upgrade the high-performance sport bicycle in terms of safety, performance, and maintenance.
Santé’s three main performance-oriented functions are precise 7-speed SIS shifting, efficient Biopace chainwheels, and the SLR brake system for better braking control.
But there’s a lot more. The aero brake levers are available in both long and short reach models to fit the hands of all sizes of cyclists. The levers also incorporate an easy push-button quick release mechanism which makes the caliper look cleaner.
The Santé 7-speed freehub with its aerodynamic gum covers gives a wider choice of SIS gearing. The freehub’s new design features bearings which are now positioned closer to the dropouts for even greater power transfer efficiency and axle strength.
The headset is all stainless steel for greater strength and corrosion resistance. And all Santé components use precision sealed mechanisms which totally block out dirt, mud, and water. And the list goes on.
So you see, Santé is a lot more than just a pretty face.
Beauty that’s more than skin deep…
Santé is Safety
Santé makes high-performance cycling safer with a choice of normal or short reach brake levers, modulated feedback SLR brake system, and SIS shifting that doesn’t distract the rider from the road.
Santé is Performance
Santé allows the rider to reach a higher level of performance thanks to one-touch 7-speed SIS shifting, high-response SLR brake system, Biopace chainwheels, and new stronger freehub design.
Santé is Maintenance Free
Completely sealed mechanisms used throughout the Santé system result in more precise operation over a longer service life.

Some sample questions about Santé and how to answer them
Q.1 Sure Santé looks pretty good, but what about quality? I mean can you race with Santé?
A.1 Sure you can. Santé is a high quality performance-oriented component group with a distinctive new appearance that makes the high-performance bicycle look better. Although Santé was not designed as a racing component group, it’s rugged enough to stand up to the rigors of competition. You could say that it’s positioned between Dura-Ace and 600, but it doesn’t really belong in the same category.
Q.2 Is Santé as good as Dura-Ace or other pro groups?
A.2 Well, in certain ways it’s better than Dura-Ace and in certain ways it’s not. It really depends on what you mean by “good.” As a pro-level racing component group, Dura-Ace can’t be beat in terms of the ruggedness needed to stand up to the demands of competition on a day-in day-out basis.
But for people who don’t race their bike but like to ride hard and fast, the Santé group provides precision functions plus more than the necessary quality and durability. Think of Santé as having the same precision functions as Dura-Ace with the added advantage of a striking new appearance. Actually, Santé’s light-action 7-speed SIS shifts easier than Dura-Ace. And Santé’s 7-speed freehub gives you a wider gear choice than Dura-Ace 6-speed. Santé fits in better with the way many non-racing cyclists are riding today. It really depends on your cycling style and what you want in a bicycle.
Q.3 I notice that the Santé group doesn’t include a Santé pedal. Why is this?
A.3 The new Shimano clipless pedal (Model PD-7401) is compatible with Look® cleats and shoes. Shimano feels that it’s also the ideal pedal to be used with the Santé group. That’s why a Santé pedal is not offered.
Q.4 I’ve got small hands so I’ve always been nervous about using the brakes. The lever reach is just too long for me.
A.4 Santé is the answer. The aerodynamic Santé brake levers are available in normal and short reach sizes. These short-reach levers, along with the SLR system, have totally eliminated the braking problems encountered by cyclists with small hands. This makes Santé the safest and best performing brake system for all cyclists.
Q.5 More and more quality bikes are being designed especially for smaller riders. Can Santé be used on these bicycles?
A.5 Of course. In fact, Santé is the ideal group for these bikes because it was designed to be “user-friendly” to the smaller rider. For example, the crankset is available with a short 160mm crank arm, and the brake levers are available in a special short reach size.

Introducing the customer to Santé…
Santé incorporates Shimano’s advanced functions that enhance the bicycle-rider interface.
SIS SHIMANO INDEX SYSTEM
1 The Shimano Index System
Santé offers the flexibility of a 7-speed gearing system with the precision of SIS shifting. With Santé’s spring-assisted light-action SIS mechanism, shifting is easier than ever. Just moving the lever into its indented position automatically executes a perfect shift without chain grinding or the need to play with the lever to adjust the derailleur.
biopace COMPUTER DESIGNED DRIVE SYSTEM
2 Biopace Chainrings
Santé uses Biopace chainrings. Santé’s Biopace helps coordinate the natural changes in leg speed with the higher cadences used by racers and performance-oriented sport cyclists. Tests have proven that Biopace actually saves critical energy. Biopace gives the cyclist a boost in performance, especially when climbing hills. Santé makes good use of the Biopace advantage.
SLR SHIMANO LINEAR RESPONSE
3 Shimano Linear Response Brake System
Coordinated design of the brake caliper, spring-assisted lever, and lined cable housing make up the Santé SLR system. SLR supplies the rider with more sensitive feedback at the lever when the brakes are applied. This allows a higher level of braking control which gives the Santé rider a geater feeling of confidence and control.
Santé
Some sample questions about SIS, Biopace, and SLR, and how to answer them…
Q.1 I never rode my old 10-speed much because it was so hard to shift. Is SIS really an improvement?
A.1 You bet it is. There’s no need to be afraid of shifting anymore. With SIS, anybody can shift the derailleur smoothly, quickly, and accurately. Just one touch of the lever and you’re in gear without chain scraping or the need to fine-tune the shift. The only way to realize the great advantage of SIS is to try it!
Q.2 I’ve been riding for years and I know how to shift. I don’t think I really need SIS.
A.2 Many experienced riders feel this way at first, but after they try SIS they’re usually hooked. This is because SIS completely frees you from the need to concentrate on shifting, if only for a moment. This is something which even the most experienced riders learn to appreciate. As a result, SIS makes you a better, safer, and even more competitive rider.
Q.3 Can Biopace help me ride faster?
A.3 No it can’t. But it can help you to ride longer with less energy expenditure. It makes hill-climbing easier too.
Q.4 I’ve always used a round chainwheel. I don’t really believe Biopace makes any difference.
A.4 Biopace was designed specifically to provide a more natural leg movement with the higher cadences used by racers and serious cyclists. It also helps to ease the burden on the knees when you pound those big gears. Just try it for a while. I think you’ll see for yourself that Biopace can really give you a performance boost.
Q.5 Is Santé’s SLR system a real improvement in brake performance?
A.5 SLR is a significant improvement in braking performance. It really helps you stop with more control. In fact, other manufacturer’s are now copying the system.
Q.6 How does SLR work?
A.6 Basically, SLR incorporates special bearings in the caliper unit, an efficient pad compound, a spring-assisted lever, and special low-friction cables to create a very even and precise “linear response” feeling at the lever. The result is a higher level of lever sensitivity and braking control which gives riders more confidence in their ability to brake safely.
