Shimano SLX SL-M7000-11-B-I I-Spec 2-/3-/11-speed Shifters

The Shimano SLX SL-M7000-11-B-I Shifters - I-Spec and other technologies

The Shimano SLX SL-M7000-11-B-I shifter set with I-Spec (B) construction impresses with flexible positioning of the shifters and space-saving integrated mounting on compatible brake levers. This makes for a tidy cockpit and allows for more flexibility. The set consists of a 2/3-speed shifter for the left and an 11-speed shifter for the right, which stand for stable shifting, ergonomic design and minimal operating forces. This is made possible by the proven Rapidfire Plus technology, which allows up to three gear steps to be downshifted in one shift stroke, as well as the 2-Way Release function, i.e. operating the release lever by pulling it with the index finger or pressing it with the thumb. The supplied shift cables have been provided with the friction-reducing Optislick coating.

Technology:

Rapidfire Plus
Rapidfire Plus is a type of Shimano shift lever construction that has been common in the mountain bike sector since 1985. Two levers, the main lever and the release lever, are used instead of a twist shifter. Rapidfire Plus shift levers, as the name suggests, ensure fast shifting. In addition, depending on the model, it is possible to downshift up to three gears with one shift stroke.

2-Way-Release
With 2-Way-Release, the shifter can be pressed and pulled to shift to the smaller sprocket or chainring. This allows you to adjust the shifting process to your personal preferences. Most Rapidfire Plus shifters are equipped with 2-Way Release.

I-Spec
I-Spec enables the connection between the brake lever and shift lever on MTB derailleurs from Shimano. The main advantages are a cleaner look at the cockpit, more space on the handlebars and, of course, weight savings.

Note from the manufacturer:

The I-Spec shifters have a new mount (Version B) as of 2014. First of all, there is no compatibility with brake levers with the old I-Spec mount. However, they can be made compatible with the old I-Spec brake levers by using a connecting bolt , provided the handle diameter on the handlebar is smaller than 32 mm. For handlebar grip diameters from 32 to 36 mm, there is no possibility to combine the I-Spec B shifter with older I-Spec brake grips.
