Shimano SLX SL-M7000-I 2-/3-/10-/11-speed Shifter w/ I-Spec II

The SLX SL-M7000-I shifters by Shimano - With the advantages of I-Spec II

The Shimano SLX SL-M7000-I shifter now also uses the I-Spec II system, as was previously the case with the XTR and XT. This not only enables space-saving, weight-reducing and neat integration of the shift and brake levers on the handlebars, it also allows flexible positioning. Like the clamp version, the SL-M7000-I impresses with stable shifting, ergonomic design and minimal operating forces. Behind this is the proven Rapidfire Plus technology, with which up to three gear steps can be shifted down with one shift stroke, as well as the 2-Way Release function. This allows the release lever to be operated by pulling it with the index finger or pressing it with the thumb and the low-friction Optislick cable to be released in two directions. The SLX shifter is available in three versions - for the left as a 2-/3-speed shifter (no mode converter required) and for the right as a 10-speed or 11-speed shifter.

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 II
I-Spec II describes a variant of the connection between the brake lever and the shift lever on MTB or, more precisely, flatbar gears from Shimano. This type of mount makes for a tidy cockpit as it reduces the number of clamps needed. On some models it is also possible to adjust the shift lever both horizontally and vertically in relation to the brake lever. Then there is 12 mm of adjustment travel in the longitudinal direction and/or up to 15° of rotation - for optimum ergonomic adaptation to your riding style, seat position and anatomy.
