The rubber padding and the two-way drive further enhance the changes. The right hand button (SL-M8100-IR) uses a multi-function function to act quickly on the gears and, for users using a 2×12 configuration, a left-hand lever lever (SL-M8100-IL) moves the front derailleur both up and down with precision. The DEORE XT M8100 push-buttons are also available in a version with clamping band. Weight of the buttons: SL-M8100-IR: 120 g, SL-M8100-IL: 73 g, SL-M8100-R: 117 g, SL-M8100-L: 78 g.

Advantages and features

– The simple and intuitive operation of the single lever, faster access and lighter front derailleur improve concentration.

– The change of the double front plate with a natural position of the fingers allows to make the change of gears intuitively.
– The simple forward shift helps cyclists respond to changing conditions quickly and accurately.

– The simple and intuitive operation of the RAPIDFIRE PLUS MONO lever allows cyclists to make ascending and descending changes with a single lever. It allows the change of the front double plate with a natural position of the fingers and an intuitive operation of the change while maintaining a firm grip on the handlebars.
The 2WAY-RELEASE functionality offers instant thrust and traction movements to help cyclists respond to changing conditions quickly and accurately.

– 2WAY-RELEASE, The drive lever of the RAPIDFIRE PLUS diverters is usually called a trigger, because it works like a gun, by pressing the trigger. The drive lever of the new RAPIDFIRE PLUS diverters of the SHIMANO ALIVIO to XTR groups can be operated in the same way, but adds the possibility to activate a drive lever by pressing with the thumb.

– INSTANT RELEASE, The INSTANT RELEASE change replaces the two-stage click and release change we are used to. With the INSTANT RELEASE change, the cable is released as soon as the handle is operated, so that the gear change is carried out as quickly as possible. Whether an upward shift with a higher normal rear shift or a downward shift with a lower normal rearrange, a faster change is always a better change.
