Technology

Mountain bikers have been using RAPIDFIRE PLUS since 1985. RAPIDFIRE PLUS remains the first choice for a wide variety of riders, from XC competitors to freeriders. RAPIDFIRE PLUS is suitable for quick change, and allows the rider to reduce three gears at once. All RAPIDFIRE PLUS shift levers, from SHIMANO DEORE to XTR, have 2WAY-RELEASE, which means the change can be triggered by pulling with your index finger or pressing with your thumb.

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 your thumb.

I-SPEC EV creates a clean, action-optimized cab that offers greater focus and flexibility for a wider range of riders.

Advantages and features

The widest range of settings allows adjustment so that cyclists of different styles, preferences and body styles achieve the optimal position.

Ergonomic design, faster lever access and smooth operation improve rider comfort and concentration.

With this wider adjustment interval, I-SPEC EV levers can be adjusted to optimal positions to suit a wide variety of driving styles (ENDURO/XC/etc.), rider preferences and anatomy (hand and arm alignment).

I-SPEC EV improves brake lever firmness by moving the brake clamp position inwards to create an additional point of contact between the handlebars and lever. This additional reinforcement significantly increases bike control and brake gear, while maintaining the space between the clamp and the support point for other handlebar accessories.
