Product details
The rider can downshift by up to three gears with a single lever stroke - perfect for mountain bikers who desire reliable shifting performance. The cables are coated with a minimal, uniform galvanic layer that allows for more efficient cable routing and is characterized by excellent corrosion resistance.
Rapidfire Plus has been used by mountain bikers since 1985 and remains the top choice for various groups of riders, from XC racers to freeriders and downhillers. Rapidfire Plus is designed for quick shifting. The rider can downshift by up to three gears with one shift stroke. All Rapidfire Plus shifters, from Shimano Deore to XTR, are equipped with 2WAY-RELEASE (release in two directions). This means that the shift cable can be released by pulling with the index finger or pressing with the thumb. The optical gear display shows the rider which gear is currently engaged. The rider can see how many gears are available to shift up or down, allowing for more conscious shifting.
