RapidFire Plus

Mountain bikers have been using RapidFire Plus since 1985. RapidFire Plus is still the winning choice for a wide range of styles, from XC racing to freeriding. RapidFire Plus shifters are suitable for quick shifting and offer the ability to downshift three gears with a single lever action. The new RapidFire Plus shifters from the Shimano Deore to the XTR series feature the 2Way-Release function, which allows shifting by pulling the lever with the index finger or pushing it with the thumb.

I-Spec EV

I-Spec EV creates a clean and optimized cockpit that allows for greater focus and increased comfort for a wide range of riders.

Advantages and Benefits

• The wider adjustment range allows riders of various styles, preferences, and body types to find the optimal lever and control position.
• The ergonomic design, faster lever access, and smooth operation improve riding comfort and focus.

I-Spec EV increases the rigidity of the brake lever by moving the clamp inward to create an additional contact point between the handlebar and the lever. This additional support significantly increases bike control and brake response, while maintaining space between the clamp and the support point for other accessories to be mounted on the handlebar.

2Way-Release

The release lever of RapidFire Plus shifters is typically called a "trigger" because it works like a gun trigger, which is pulled towards the grip. The release lever of RapidFire Plus shifters from Shimano Alivio to XTR can be operated in this same manner but also provides the ability to activate a release shift by pushing with the thumb.

Instant Release

Instant Release shifting action replaces the two-stage, click-and-release shifting action we are used to. Instant Release shifting action releases the cable as soon as the lever is activated, ensuring the fastest possible shift. Whether it's an upshift with Top Normal gearing or a downshift with Low Normal gearing, a faster shift is always an advantage.

Multi Release

Previous shifting systems were faster in one direction than the other. The choice between Top Normal and Low Normal always meant sacrificing shifting speed in one of the two directions. Now, with Multi Release, you can shift two gears with a single shifting action. The result: the maximum possible shifting speed in both directions, regardless of the gearing choice.
