The Deore XT SL-M8100 Rapidfire Plus shifters change the gears of your SHIMANO 12-speed drivetrain in a fast, crisp and precise way.
Thanks to measurably lower operating forces compared to the predecessor model and a comfortably short shifting travel, you will master every challenge on the trail.
The ergonomically optimised I-SPEC EV construction allows you to attach the shift levers directly to a compatible brake lever for a clean cockpit.
Compared to previous I-SPEC standards, the variable EV version offers a wider adjustment range.
Thanks to side adjustment and rotational adjustment options, every rider can choose the setup that best suits their individual anatomy and preferences.
The left Rapidfire Plus Mono shifter for double speed systems is based on the XTR group.
To upshift, push the lever with your thumb until it clicks into place.
The lever is released by pushing the lever once again with the thumb or by pulling it with the index finger.
Once released, the front derailleur automatically shifts to the small chainring.

Details:
Single shifter for left (double) OR right (12-speed)
Instant Release: faster shifting since the shift cable is release immediately
Multi Release (right shifter only): allows multiple shifts with one sweep - in both directions (right shifter only)
2-Way Release: allows pressing both levers with the thumb or pulling the upper lever with the index finger for release
Left shift lever as a mono shifter
Textured and rubberised gripping surface

The first Shimano product was the bicycle freewheel, which also became the first product by Shimano to be exported in 1931.
Halfway through the 1950s Shimano expanded its range with a derailleur and a 3 speed hub.
In 1960 cold forging technology was introduced, quickly becoming a vital part of the production process and the main reason behind the premium quality of Shimano's bicycle parts.

Export figures grew exponentially. In 1965 and 1972 Shimano America and Shimano Europe were founded, and the first factories were opened in Singapore.
In 1973 the first complete Dura-Ace group came into being and Shimano Inc. became a publicly listed company.

Starting in the early 80s, the introduction of the mountain bike and the company’s leading role in its evolution led to rapid growth for Shimano Inc.
Then Shimano turned the road bike market upside down in 1984 with the introduction of indexed shifting (SIS), and again in 1990 with integrated braking and shifting (STI).
