Product Description
The XT shifter SL-T8000 by Shimano - reliable shifting performance for City & Touring
The Shimano XT shifter SL-T8000 for City & Touring use is a 3x10-speed Rapidfire Plus shifter that allows you to shift down several gears at once. It features such innovative technologies as 2-Way Release - actuated by index finger pull or thumb pressure - Instant Release for immediate release of the shift cable and - in the 10-speed version - Multi Release for equally fast gear changes in both directions. The SL-T8000 is made of aluminium, plastic and steel and is fixed with a clamp. The cable uses the friction-reducing Optislick coating, which contributes to reliable and consistent shifting performance. The XT City & Touring shifter has an easy-to-read gear display integrated.

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.
Instant Release
With Instant Release, the spring and thus the cable are released immediately when the lever is actuated, which ensures an enormously fast shifting process. The delay caused by a two-step shifting process with click and release is eliminated, so that the gear change is considerably accelerated and improved.
Multi Release
With the Multi Release, which only affects the right-hand shift lever, two gears can be shifted with one actuation of the release lever without loss of shifting speed. This is independent of whether you use a Top-Normal or a Low-Normal rear derailleur.
