SP41: With OT-SP41 the entire length of the outer casing is pre-lubricated with a special silicone grease for quick and precise shifting performance. OT-SP41 maximally reduces the inner cable friction to provide quick response to operations and easy/effortless shifting. Moreover, power loss due to delay in shifting and fatigue by shifting especially when you ride on the terrain with many ups and downs as well as a long-distance is also reduced. 8 colour options are also available for outer casing to meet many requests. 2-Way Release: The RAPIDFIRE PLUS shifter release lever is commonly called a trigger because it is operated like a pistol, by pulling toward the grip. The release lever of RAPIDFIRE PLUS shifters from SHIMANO ALIVIO to XTR can be operated in this same manner but adds the ability to activate a release shift by pushing with the thumb. Rapidfire Plus: Mountain bikers have used RAPIDFIRE PLUS since 1985. RAPIDFIRE PLUS is still a winning choice from a wide range of riders from XC racers to free-riders. RAPIDFIRE PLUS is suited to quick shifting, giving riders the ability to downshift three gears in one stroke. RAPIDFIRE PLUS shifters from DEORE to XTR all feature 2WAY-RELEASE, which means release shifts by a pull of the index finger or push of the thumb.
The SLX shifting is ight to the touch but has positive and crisp, Vivid indexing provides a constant amount of shift lever force across all 10 sprockets. With 2-way release allows shifting from various riding positions; the upper lever still performs the same shift function, but it can now swing in either direction allowing it to be released by the thumb or index finger.
Constructed from a tough and dependable aluminium, this SLX M7110 model comes complete with a cone bearing with stainless steel balls and labyrinth rubber seals to ensure a buttery smooth spin on every outing.

This stunning model is ready to go wherever and whenever you want with an excellent two piston design for efficient braking performance. Stable and versatile, its fast piston retraction means you'll benefit from controlled and precise stopping power on the rowdiest of terrain conditions. Technologies: Ice Technologies: The fade, which can occur to disc brake rotor and pad when braking on a long downhill ride, has a negative impact on the braking performance. Shimano has adopted Ice Technologies disc brake rotor and Ice Technologies pad to realise the cooling technology for consistent performance. The clad disc brake rotor blade, which has a 3 layer-sandwich structure of stainless steel, aluminium and stainless steel, provides better radiation performance achieving from 400˚C to 300˚C surface temperature. Also, the radiation fin has been adopted for the pad. Moreover, the clad disc brake rotor blade and the radiator fin provide long pad life, less noise, less fade and lightweight. One Way Bleeding: One Way Bleeding was developed for quick and easy prevention of air in our hydraulic system. We have streamlined the oil route throughout the system to prevent air bubbles from being captured in the system. One way oil routing plus a funnel tool with mineral oil provides an easy and clean bleeding system.
Light to the touch but positive and crisp, the Vivid indexing on the Shimano SLX M7000 shifter provides a constant amount of shift lever force across all 11 sprockets. The 2-way release allows shifting from various riding positions; the upper lever still performs the same shift function, but it can now swing in either direction allowing it to be released by the thumb or index finger. A pod design allows the use of these shifters with any brake I-Spec B or I-Spec-II level and the removable optical gear display with integrated cover allows the use of these shifters with any brake lever. Mount Compatibility: Bar Mount: Traditional clamp-mounting style were the Shifter mounts to the handlebar via its own clamp I-Spec B: The shifter is mounted directly to the Brake lever and not via its own clamp, this system is found on the likes of the M615, M675, M785 and M985 Shimano brake series (And, is also compatible with most Hope Brakes, including the Hope Tech 3 lever) I-Spec II: Mounting similar to I Spec B above, but newer and is only compatible with the newer Shimano M6000, M7000 M8000 and M9000 series brake lever systems
