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.

The new Shimano XT 8100 shift lever 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.
