Shimano Tiagra SL-4700 / SL-4703 2-/3-/10-speed Shifters

The Shimano Tiagra SL-4700 and SL-4703 shifters – MTB technology for Road bikes
The Shimano Tiagra SL-4700 and SL-4703 shifter set is designed for 2×10-speed or for 3×10-speed Tiagra 4700 road bike shifters, depending on the version. However, it cannot be used with dropbar handlebars, only with flat handlebars. SL-4700 and SL-4703 impress with ergonomics, good accessibility and clear feedback when shifting gears. They have been equipped with MTB’s Rapidfire Plus technology, which allows multiple gears to be downshifted with just one shift stroke. This is why the Tiagra shifters also have the 2-Way Release function, which releases the shift cable in two directions – by pulling with the index finger or pushing with the thumb. The right SL-4700 shifter is also distinguished by its particularly fast cable release, the so-called Instant Release. Tiagra shifters are made of aluminium, resin and steel and have been equipped with a practical optical gear indicator.

Rapidfire Plus is a type of Shimano shift lever construction that has been common in the mountain bike sector since 1985. Two levers, the main lever and the release lever, are used instead of a twist shifter. Rapidfire Plus shift levers, as the name suggests, ensure fast shifting. In addition, depending on the model, it is possible to downshift up to three gears with one shift stroke.

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. Most Rapidfire Plus shifters are equipped with 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.
