2-WAY RELEASE – The release lever can be pulled toward the shifter with the index finger, like a trigger, or pressed with the thumb. Choose whichever is more convenient in a given situation.

RAPIDFIRE PLUS – A trigger-style shifting system used by mountain bikers since 1985, from cross-country racers to freeride riders. It is designed for fast shifting: depending on the model, one lever movement can shift several gears. All RAPIDFIRE PLUS shifters, from DEORE to XTR, feature 2-WAY RELEASE.

I-SPEC EV – An integrated Shimano mounting system for brake and shift levers that allows for a neat, ergonomic handlebar setup. The EV version has a wider adjustment range, allowing riders to find a suitable lever position. The clamp, positioned further inward, creates an additional support point on the handlebar and increases the stiffness of the lever unit.

HYPERGLIDE+ – A cassette and chain system for mountain bike drivetrains, designed for fast, efficient and smooth shifting across varied terrain. The system selects the optimal shift timing and helps adapt to sudden changes in terrain. According to Shimano, shifting time is reduced by one third compared with the previous HG system.
