Technologies

2-WAY RELEASE – the release lever can be pulled towards the shifter with the index finger, like a trigger, or pressed with the thumb, depending on the situation.

RAPIDFIRE PLUS – a trigger-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 have the 2-WAY RELEASE function.

INSTANT RELEASE – replaces the two-step click-and-release process: the spring releases the cable as soon as the lever is pressed, rather than when it is released, allowing faster shifts.

I-SPEC EV – an integrated Shimano mounting system for brake and shifting levers, allowing for a tidy and ergonomic handlebar setup. The EV version has a wider adjustment range to help find the right lever position. The clamp is positioned further inboard, creating an additional support point on the handlebar and increasing the rigidity 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 rapidly changing terrain. According to Shimano, shifting time is reduced by one third compared with the previous HG system.
