Shimano XT SL Shift Lever - M8100

The new Shimano XT 12-speed components, designed for use ranging from cross-country to enduro. The XT components designated 8100 are designed for 1x12 and 1x12-speed drivetrains. The legendary durability and performance of XT MTB parts is now also available in a 12-speed version. The new Deore XT M8100 series boasts a host of technical highlights, including Shimano’s groundbreaking 12-speed Micro Spline cassettes, available with a range of 10-45T or 10-51T, 1x12- or 2x12-speed Hollowtech II cranksets, powerful two- and four-piston brakes, I-Spec EV shifters, high-precision 12-speed rear derailleurs and front derailleurs, Ice Tech Frezza brake discs with their outstanding heat dissipation, as well as the WH-M8100 and WH-M8120 wheelsets for XC and enduro use.

Shimano XT SL-M8100 Rapidfire shift lever:

The XT Rapidfire 12-speed SL-M8100 shifters are available as I-Spec EV direct mounts for the latest Shimano disc brakes with I-Spec EV mounts, or as classic mounts with a handlebar clamp. Operating forces have been reduced by 35 per cent thanks to a modified gear ratio combined with lower cage tension at the rear derailleur. However, thanks to a redesigned internal mechanism, the M8100 shifter shifts 20 per cent faster, allowing the rider to react even more quickly to changing road conditions. The shifters feature a dual-textured, non-slip surface and are equipped with all the latest high-end technologies such as Multi-Release, Instant-Release and 2-Way-Release.

Shimano XT 8100 Shifter Compatibility:

The new Shimano XT 8100 shifter series is only compatible with Shimano 12-speed MTB rear derailleurs and 12-speed Shimano MTB cassettes. The CNM8100 chain is recommended. The 12-speed cassettes are only compatible with the new Micro Spline freehub bodies.

Shimano I-Spec EV:

The new I-Spec version of the Shimano XTR shifters and brakes offers a wide adjustment range – 14 mm sideways and 60 degrees of rotation – ensuring optimal shifting ergonomics. With the I-Spec EV version, the shifter can be mounted on XTR M9100/9120 brake levers in a space-saving manner. Furthermore, mounting via the new standard provides a 14-millimetre lateral adjustment range, and the shifter can also be rotated by 60 degrees. The new I-Spec EV version is not compatible with older brakes.
