Shimano XT SL-M8000 2-/3-/11-speed Shifters W/ Clamp

The Shimano XT SL-M8000 shifters – lower operating forces and improved ergonomics
The Shimano XT SL-M8000 shifter set consists of a shifter for the left, which can shift both 2x and 3x , and an 11-speed shifter for the right. Both are mounted on the handlebars with a clamp. They are characterised by ergonomic levers with different structures. In addition, the Vivid Index mechanism, always known for its robust shifting operations, has been further optimised. Optislick cables are included, which reduce the effort required for shifting by 20%.
Thanks to Rapidfire Plus technology, the shifters can shift down several gears at once and feature the 2-Way Release function, which allows the shift cable to be released both by pulling with the index finger and pressing with the thumb. Of course, Instant Release for accelerated gear changes and – in the 11-speed version – Multi Release for the fastest possible shifting in both directions are also on board.
The SL-M8000 comes with removable gear indicators, which can alternatively be replaced by covers (included).

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.

Multi Release
With the Multi Release, which only affects the right-hand shift lever, two gears can be shifted with one actuation of the release lever without loss of shifting speed. This is independent of whether you use a Top-Normal or a Low-Normal rear derailleur.
