SHIMANO SLX SL-M7100 shift lever 12-speed I-Spec EV

The SHIMANO SLX shift lever SL-M7100 is close to the top class. Equipped with the genes of the XT and XTR groupset, the SLX components shine with exceptionally high performance. The operating forces have been reduced by 35% compared to the predecessor model, the reachability of the lever has been increased by 20%, and the adjustment range has been extended in the longitudinal direction.

The Rapidfire Plus 12-speed trigger is mounted directly on the brake lever using I-SPEC EV. On the one hand, this ensures a clean, tidy look in the cockpit. On the other hand, the system's adjustment options ensure perfect accessibility and ergonomics. The M7100 trigger features 2-way release technology, which means that the next gear can be engaged by pulling with the index finger or pressing with the thumb. A clearly defined and crisp pressure point gives a pleasant feedback of the shifting process. With the Multi Shift function, up to 3 gears can be shifted up at once.

High-quality materials ensure maximum durability and great design.

Technologies

2-WAY RELEASE
The release lever for downshifting can be operated either by pressing with the thumb or by pulling with the index finger. This allows the gear lever to adapt optimally to the respective riding situation.

RAPIDFIRE PLUS
The first choice of mountain bikers for fast shifting since 1985. Up to three gears can be shifted with one push.

I-SPEC EV
This mounting system offers the best possible accessibility and ergonomics of the gear lever as well as a tidy cockpit. It is mounted directly on the I-SPEC EV compatible brake lever. The lateral adjustment range is 14mm. The angle of the shifter can be adjusted by 60°. A second contact point between the brake lever and the handlebar provides additional stiffness and thus increases the braking effect.

OPTISLICK
OPTISLICK cables reduce friction and thus the effort required when shifting gears thanks to the minimalist, uniform galvanic coating. The coating also provides excellent corrosion protection.
