1. Shimano Deore XT SL-M8100
Shimano's Rapidfire Plus Deore XT shifter provides smooth and responsive shifting for better control on the trail. The new I-SPEC EV lever is highly adjustable, including an extended adjustment range in the longitudinal direction.
The Instant Release shifting mechanism replaces the two-step click and release process. With Instant Release, the cable is released immediately upon lever activation, achieving the fastest possible gear change. Whether shifting up with a top-normal derailleur or down with a low-normal derailleur, a quicker shift is always a better shift.
The Rapidfire Plus Mono shifter is a user-friendly and straightforward front shifting element, designed to be lightweight and compact. It allows for comfortable shifting up and down.

The Shimano SL-M315 is a shift lever designed for city, touring, and mountain bikes with 7-speed or 8-speed gearing and two or three chainrings. It features an integrated, easy-to-read gear indicator that helps you keep track of your current gear level. As a Rapidfire Plus model, the SL-M315 allows for quick, indexed shifting; with each lever pull, you can downshift by up to 3 gears at once.

5. Sram Eagle AXS
Eagle AXS Controller
No shift cables, housing, or wires – the Eagle AXS Controller opens up new design and technical possibilities. This allows for a completely new shifting experience with new ergonomic touchpoints that require extremely low operating forces. The touchpoints can be fully customized to your individual needs. Through the AXS app, you can assign one of three desired functions to all AXS controllers: shifting up, shifting down, or operating the Reverb AXS Dropper Post. With the first touch, you wake the controller from energy-saving mode.
The AXS App
The AXS app is the mobile component software that allows you to program and personalize the Eagle AXS to your preferences. With the app, you can adjust and customize controller assignments for shifting commands and your electronic Reverb seat post directly from your mobile phone. Let your left controller shift up or down. Assign a button to your AXS-compatible Reverb that feels most intuitive to you. AXS gives the rider digital capabilities for the first time to freely customize, personalize, and enhance operation. This way, you can create your own Eagle AXS "fingerprint."
