Shimano XT SL-M8100 RH Shifter

XT SL-M8100 Rapidfire Plus shifting lever

The Shimano Deore XT SL-M8100 shift lever allows quick and easy shifting, so the rider can solely focus on the Trail ahead. Compared to its predecessor, the SL-M8000, the shifting operation force could be reduced by 35 % while the main lever access is now 20 % faster thanks to a clever design. In addition, the lever's rubberized contact surface ensures maximum ergonomics.


The I-Spec EV construction already familiar from the XTR M9100 has also found its way into the Deore XT M8100 components. With this technology the shifting levers can be mounted directly to the brake lever, what makes it possible to dispense with a clamp and to significantly increase the adjustment range. I-Spec EV allows 14 mm for longitudinal and 60degree for rotational adjustment so that each rider can make a setup to suit his or her individual anatomy or preferences.
