Shimano XT SL-M8000 I Spec II shift lever

The new Shimano XT 11-speed components, designed for use ranging from cross-country to enduro. Available with a crankset featuring 1–3 chainrings and an 11-speed cassette with a 11–40 or 11–42-tooth range. One of the major advantages of the XT 8000 series is the compatibility of the cassettes with conventional rear wheels. The XT 11-speed cassettes can be fitted to all freehubs designed for 9- and 10-speed Shimano MTB cassettes.

Shimano SL-M8000 Rapidfire shifters:

The XT Rapidfire 11-speed shift levers SL-M-8000-I are designed for direct mounting onto the new XT and XTR disc brake levers BL-M8000/9000/M9020. This saves weight and creates plenty of space on the handlebars.The further optimised, ergonomic design of the Shimano XT SL M8000 Rapidfire shift levers literally takes shifting to a new level. The shift levers 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 I-Spec II mounting:

The XT SL M8000 shift levers are suitable for direct mounting (I-Spec Type II) onto the brake levers of Shimano XT and XTR disc brakes (BLM 8000/8020 and BLM 9000/9020) with I-Spec II clamps. This mounting system allows for space-saving installation of the shift levers directly onto the brake lever clamp. Shimano has changed the I-Spec mount on the 11-speed systems; the XT SLM8000 I-Spec II levers are not compatible with older I-Spec systems.

Shimano XT 8000 Shift Lever Compatibility:

The new Shimano 11-speed XTR shifter series is only compatible with XT and XTR 11-speed rear derailleurs and front derailleurs. The HG-800 chain is recommended. The 11-speed XT cassettes are also compatible with 9-10-speed Shimano-compatible freehub bodies.
