Mountain biking has rapidly evolved since the previous introduction of Shimano's top level XTR groupset. Shimano sees different directions in mountain biking with wheel sizes and riding styles changing and now defines four main categories within mountain biking. Competitive Cross Country is driven by physical efforts while Enduro focuses on more technical challenges but both have equivalents at the non-competitive Trail level. To serve mountain bikers who will only settle for the best, Shimano today introduces the new rider tuned XTR M9000 groupset.
SL-M9000 Rapidfire Plus Shifting Levers
Instant Release allows faster shifts as it instantly releases the cable when the trigger is activated.
Multi-Release (only at right lever) allows shifting four gears at once in both directions.
The levers are also equipped with 2-Way Release for different riding styles or shifting (indexfinger or thumb) from various riding positions. The upper lever still performs the same function, but now it swings both ways. Pull it with your finger or push it with your thumb - you choose.
Note: This version of the shifting levers is not compatible with I-Spec. It will be mounted with clamps.
Included in delivery: right lever with inner shifting cable and housing
Material: aluminum, stainless steel, CFRP (Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer)
