Shimano Deore XT SL-M8200 Trigger Shifter Description:
The Shimano Deore XT SL-M8200 Trigger Shifter has been crafted to deliver exceptional ergonomics, tactile feedback, and a cleaner appearance. A revised paddle angle, shorter stroke, and a crisper, more tactile lever feel let the confidently execute the shift. The upshift lever features Shimano’s Rapidfire Plus 2-Way release so the rider can execute that shift with either the index finger or the thumb, and either lever have the ability to perform multiple shifts with a single press. The body is tucked closer to the handlebar and the cable path has been revised for cleaner aesthetics for the front of the bike. Finally, multiple handlebar clamp/mounting options are available so the rider can get a shifter that works best for the available handlebar space.
