SHIMANO is probably one of the most famous and popular manufacturers of quality bicycle parts and accessories in the world. Parts from this manufacturer are more or less used in most of the bicycles Founded in 1921 in Japan, the company currently has perhaps the widest range of products for both amateurs and professionals. Every year, innovations are introduced that allow cyclists to shift gears more precisely, brake more efficiently or finish the track faster. Currently the company is expanding the offer of electronic gear shifting mechanisms and electric bicycle parts more and more. The range of products is not limited to bicycle parts, clothing for cyclists is offered as well.
The DEORE XT SL-M8200 mechanical shifter prioritizes precision and quickness, with a lever redesign that results in natural-feeling ergonomics, a more refined release and lightning-fast shifts. The M8200 pairs DEORE XT's proven reliability with a new design to create a more refined mechanical shifter that's also compatible with previous-generation 12-speed drivetrains.

TECHNOLOGIES
2-WAY RELEASE
– The release lever on a RAPIDFIRE Plus shifter is pulled towards the grip, just like the trigger of a pistol. The release lever on the new RAPIDFIRE Plus shifters, from ALIVIO to XTR, can be operated in the same way. However, it can also be used to shift gears simply by pressing with the thumb.
RAPIDFIRE PLUS
– RAPIDFIRE Plus has been used by mountain bikers since 1985. RAPIDFIRE Plus continues to be used successfully by a wide variety of riders, from cross-country racers to freeriders. RAPIDFIRE Plus is ideal for fast shifting. The rider can shift down by up to three gears with a single lever movement. All RAPIDFIRE Plus shift levers, from DEORE to XTR, are equipped with 2-WAY-RELEASE (release in two directions). This means that the shift cable is released by pulling with the index finger or pressing with the thumb.
MULTI RELEASE
– This technology allows multiple gears to be shifted with just one lever operation. This works in both directions and noticeably speeds up gear changes.
