SHIMANO SL-M9100 XTR 12-speed Shifter | Clamp

RACE PERFORMANCE!

The XTR groupset is the top end of the SHIMANO MTB portfolio. These components contain everything Shimano has to offer in terms of technology and know-how – it doesn’t get any better than this! Optimised for MTB racing, they shine with low weight and best performance. The best racers in the world rely on these parts.

The SHIMANO XTR SL-M9100 12-speed shifter with mounting with a clamp features Multi Release, Instant Realease and 2-Way Release technologies, which make it possible to shift with practically any – no matter in which direction you ride the shifters. This means that the gear lever adapts optimally to the rider and the respective riding situation. This allows you to devote your full concentration to the trail.

The shifter is attached directly to the brake lever through a clamp. This creates the possibility of an ergonomically perfect positioning. A longer lever housing and an anti-slip surface ensure better accessibility and safety. The further developed Vivid Index mechanism provides a clearly defined, crisp pressure point and gives a pleasant feedback of the shifting process. The operating forces have been reduced by another 35% compared to the predecessor. The excellent workmanship and high-quality materials ensure reliability and durability on the one hand and an elegant design on the other.

Technologies

2-WAY RELEASE
The release lever for downshifting can be operated either by pressing with the thumb or by pulling with the index finger. This allows the gear lever to adapt optimally to the respective riding situation.

MULTI RELEASE
With earlier shift systems, changing gears in one direction was faster than in the other. The choice of top-normal or low-normal always meant sacrificing shifting speed in one direction in favour of the other. With MULTI-RELEASE, two gears can now be shifted with one lever action. The result: the fastest possible gear change in both directions, regardless of the type of rear derailleur used.

INSTANT RELEASE
The INSTANT RELEASE shifting process replaces the two-step click and release process. With INSTANT RELEASE, the cable is released immediately when the lever is actuated, thus achieving the fastest possible gear change. Regardless of whether a gear change up is to be made with a top-normal rear derailleur or a gear change down with a low-normal rear derailleur – a faster shift is always a better shift.

RAPIDFIRE PLUS
The mountain bikers‘ first choice for fast shifting since 1985. Up to three gears can be shifted with one push.

OPTISLICK
OPTISLICK cables reduce friction and thus the effort required when shifting gears thanks to the minimalist, uniform galvanic coating. The coating also provides excellent corrosion protection.
