2WAY-RELEASE, The drive lever of RAPIDFIRE PLUS derailleurs is usually called a trigger, because it works like a gun by pulling the trigger. The drive lever of the new RAPIDFIRE PLUS derailleurs of the SHIMANO ALIVIO to XTR groups can be operated in the same way, but adds the possibility to activate a drive lever by pressing with the thumb.

The INSTANT RELEASE change replaces the two-stage click-and-release change we're used to. With the INSTANT RELEASE change, the cable is released as soon as the lever is operated, so the gear shift is done as quickly as possible.
