Shimano MTB component heirarchry
In the road bike world it goes Dura Ace> ultegra>105>tiagra> sora
What is the rank order in MTB components. I'm thinking of getting a deore rear derailleur for my road bike and wondering what level of quality is it?

From best to worst:
1 XTR
2 XT
3 LX
4 Deore
Then there are some really dodgy ones below this like SIS, wouldn't recommend going below Deore.
There are also 2 freeride Grouppo's
Saint (fits between XTR and XT)
and a new one coming out
Hone (fits between XT and LX or LX and Deore)

Saint is the freeride component group and is comparable to XTR/Dura Ace. They are also working on the HONE line which is camparable to XT/Ultegra level.
