Find the Shimano components your MTB needs at Escapa. The Shimano XT SL-M8000 shifter is attached to the handlebar with a clamp and features ergonomically designed levers with a unique shape. Compared to its predecessor, the Vivid Index mechanism—which has always been known for its smooth shifting performance—has been further optimized. The left XT shifter can be used with both 2x11-speed and 3x11-speed drivetrains without a Mode converter. The model comes with an Optislick cable, which reduces the effort required to shift gears by 20%.
Thanks to Rapidfire Plus technology, the shifter can downshift multiple gears at once and features the 2-Way Release function, which allows you to release the shifter cable by pulling with your index finger and pressing with your thumb. Of course, Instant Release for rapid shifting and, in the 11-speed version, Multi Release for the fastest possible shifting in both directions are also included.
The SL-M8000 comes with a removable gear indicator and a cover that can be mounted in place of the indicator.
