Shimano XT SL-M8100-I 12-speed Shifter w/ I-Spec EV

XT SL-M8100-I Shifter by Shimano - Leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to adjustment

The Shimano SLX SL-M8100-I 12-speed shifter offers you the highest level of individual ergonomics - the I-Spec EV system makes it possible. You can adjust it laterally (14 mm) and in the direction of rotation. Like the clamp version, SL-M8100-I is also characterised by low operating forces and good accessibility. The Shimano 2-Way Release technology ensures delay-free push and pull movements.

Technology:

Rapidfire Plus
Rapidfire Plus has been used by mountain bikers since 1985. Rapidfire Plus is still the first choice for a wide range of rider groups, from Cross Country racers to freeriders and downhillers. Rapidfire Plus is suitable for fast shifting. The rider can shift down up to three gears with one shift stroke. All new Rapidfire Plus shifters, from XTR to Deore LX, are equipped with 2-Way Release. This means that the shift cable is released by pulling with the index finger or pressing with the thumb.

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. All newer Rapidfire Plus shifters are equipped with the 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 earlier shift systems, gear changes in one direction were faster than in the other. The choice of top-normal or low-normal always meant sacrificing shifting speed in one direction in favour of the other. With Multi Release, two gear changes can now be changed with one lever operation. The result: The fastest possible gear change in both directions, regardless of the type of rear derailleur used.

I-Spec EV
I-Spec EV describes a variant of the connection between brake lever and shifter in MTB drivetrains. This type of mount allows the shifter to be adjusted both horizontally and vertically in relation to the brake lever and keeps the cockpit tidy by reducing the number of clamps needed. Compared to I-Spec and I-Spec II, I-Spec EV offers a much wider adjustment range. 14 mm adjustment range the longitudinal direction and up to 60° rotation allow an optimal ergonomic adjustment to your riding style, your sitting position and your anatomy.
