Technologies

LINKGLIDE – provides smooth shifting and pedaling performance. LINKGLIDE is designed to support different bicycle types and riding styles over long-term use. It is a durable drivetrain designed to withstand persistent daily wear and provide lasting shifting and pedaling performance on multi-purpose bikes and high-torque e-bikes. The robust cassette design enables smooth shifts up and down the gears while significantly reducing drivetrain wear. The shifting gate design is optimized, and robust cassette teeth resist damage when shifting and pedaling under high torque.

RAPIDFIRE PLUS – mountain bikers have used RAPIDFIRE Plus since 1985. It remains a choice for a wide range of riders, from XC racers to freeriders. RAPIDFIRE Plus is designed for quick shifting and lets riders downshift three gears in one stroke. RAPIDFIRE Plus shifters from DEORE to XTR feature 2-WAY RELEASE, allowing release shifts by pulling with the index finger or pushing with the thumb.

2-WAY RELEASE – the RAPIDFIRE Plus shifter release lever is commonly called a trigger because it is operated like a pistol trigger, by pulling it toward the grip. The release lever on RAPIDFIRE Plus shifters from ALIVIO to XTR can be operated in the same way, and can also be activated by pushing with the thumb.
