Shimano XTR SL-M9100 Rapidfire shift lever:

The XTR Rapidfire 12-speed shift levers SL-M9100 are designed for classic mounting with a clamp on the handlebar. The operating force has been reduced by 35 per cent thanks to a modified gear ratio combined with lower cage tension at the rear derailleur. However, the M9100 shifter shifts 20 per cent faster due to a redesigned internal mechanism, allowing the rider to react even more quickly to changing road conditions. The further optimised, ergonomic design of the Shimano XTR SL M9100 Rapidfire shifters literally takes shifting to a new level. 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. Carbon was chosen as the material for the shift levers to ensure the lowest possible weight. Fitted with polymer-coated cables, shifting performance is significantly optimised and operating forces are reduced by 20 per cent

Shimano XTR 9100 Shift Lever Compatibility:

The new Shimano XTR 9100 shift lever series is only compatible with the XTR 12-speed rear derailleurs RDM9100 / RDM9120, the XT and SLX 12-speed rear derailleurs and the 12-speed Shimano MTB cassettes. The CNM9100 or HG-901 chains are recommended. The 12-speed XTR 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 laterally 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 version is not compatible with older brakes.
