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

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

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