LINKGLIDE delivers smooth shifting and pedaling performance designed to last. It supports stress-free riding and ownership for evolving bike types and riding styles for years to come. This exceptionally durable drivetrain is built to withstand persistent daily wear and provide lasting shifting and pedaling performance for multi-purpose bikes and high-torque e-bikes. The robustly engineered cassette design enables smooth upshifts and downshifts while significantly reducing drivetrain wear. The shifting gate design is optimized. Robust cassette teeth resist damage when shifting and pedaling under high torque.

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

2-WAY RELEASE The release lever on a RAPIDFIRE PLUS shifter 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, with the added option of activating a release shift by pushing with the thumb.
