Technologies

  • INSTANT RELEASE: This technology replaces the traditional two-stage click and release shifting. It releases the cable as soon as the lever is activated, resulting in the quickest possible gear changes. This is beneficial for both upshifts with a top normal rear derailleur and downshifts with a low normal rear derailleur.

  • 2-WAY RELEASE: The RAPIDFIRE Plus shifter release lever can be operated like a pistol, by pulling toward the grip, or by pushing with the thumb. This dual functionality allows for versatile and efficient shifting.

  • Rapidfire Plus: RAPIDFIRE Plus has been a preferred choice for mountain bikers since 1985, offering quick shifting capabilities. It allows riders to downshift by up to three gears in one stroke and features 2-WAY RELEASE for flexible release shifts by pulling the index finger or pushing the thumb.

  • LINKGLIDE: This technology delivers seamless shifting and pedaling performance designed to last. It supports stress-free riding and ownership experiences for various bike types and riding styles. LINKGLIDE’s robust cassette design shifts gears seamlessly while significantly reducing drivetrain wear, making it ideal for multi-purpose bikes and high-torque e-bikes.

LINKGLIDE Key Features

  • Smooth and Decisive Shifting: Ensures long-lasting performance.
  • Optimized Shifting Gate Design: Provides smoother gear transitions.
  • Robust Cassette Teeth: Resist damage under high torque conditions, enhancing durability.

The Shimano CUES SL-U8000 11-speed Rapidfire Plus shift lever is an excellent choice for trekking riders seeking a reliable, efficient, and ergonomic shifting solution.
