Shimano Deore XT SL-M8000 Shift Lever I-Spec II 11-speed black (black)
Shimano Deore XT SL-M8000 shift lever I-Spec II 11-speed black
With the Deore XT group Shimano has made a name for high-quality mountain bike systems worldwide.
The new gear levers also feature innovative new technologies and numerous optimisations.This includes the technologies Instant Release, Multi-Release and 2-Way Release. While instant release allows you to change gears faster, the multi-release allows two gear steps. So you can shift either with the main lever or the secondary lever in both directions over several gears. With the 2-Way Release the rear derailleur adapts individually to your riding style - it allows you to release the train by pressing it with your thumb or pulling it with your index finger.To get there the advanced Vivid Index mechanism, which provides clear tactile feedback and better precision. The lifts are also available for classic clamp mounting and in two I-Spec variants.
I-Spec II is an integrated mounting system for brake and gear levers. It requires only one clamp and leads to a weight saving of around ten grams. Can only be mounted on I-Spec II compatible brake lever!
MULTI RELEASE
Previous shifting systems shifted faster in one direction than the other. Choosing top normal or low normal always meant sacrificing shifting speed in one direction. Now with MULTI RELEASE you can release shift two gears in one stroke. The result - the fastest possible shifting in both directions regardless of rear derailleur choice.
OPTICAL GEAR DISPLAY
The OPTICAL GEAR DISPLAY tells you which gear position is selected while riding your bike. You can see how many gears you can select either on the low side or top side, which makes shifting control easier.
OPTISLICK
OPTISLICK cables feature a minimal and uniform electrically coated layer that improves cable routing efficiency and provides excellent corrosion resistance.
OT-SP41
With OT-SP41 the entire length of the outer casing is pre-lubricated with a special silicone grease for quick and precise shifting performance. OT-SP41 maximally reduces the inner cable friction to provide quick response to operations and easy/effortless shifting. Moreover, power loss due to delay in shifting and fatigue by shifting especially when you ride on the terrain with many ups and downs as well as a long distance is also reduced. 8 color options are also available for outer casing to meet many requests.
RAPIDFIRE PLUS
Mountain bikers have used RAPIDFIRE PLUS since 1985. RAPIDFIRE PLUS is still a winning choice from a wide range of riders from XC racers to freeriders. RAPIDFIRE PLUS is suited to quick shifting, giving riders the ability to downshift three gears in one stroke. RAPIDFIRE PLUS shifters from DEORE to XTR all feature 2WAY-RELEASE, which means release shifts by pull of the index finger or push of the thumb.
2WAY-RELEASE
The RAPIDFIRE PLUS shifter release lever is commonly called a trigger because it is operated like a pistol, by pulling toward the grip. The release lever of RAPIDFIRE PLUS shifters from SHIMANO ALIVIO to XTR can be operated in this same manner but adds the ability to activate a release shift by pushing with the thumb.
INSTANT RELEASE
INSTANT RELEASE shifting replaces the two-stage click and release shifting you are familiar with. INSTANT RELEASE shifting releases cable as soon the lever is activated, resulting in the quickest possible gear changes. Whether it is an upshift with a top normal rear derailleur or a downshift with low normal rear derailleur a quicker shift is always a better shift.
