Big performance in a tiny package, the SW-RS801-T brings lightning-fast shifting to the tops of any Shimano 12-speed road bike. Winning or losing by millimetres can be the difference between a seamless shift and the split second it takes to reach for a gear. With satellite shifters, in the drops or on the tops, additional custom shift locations help you perfectly manage your effort.
These shifters come complete with visible optical gear display and a complete set of cables.
Efficient shifting isn’t the only plus point with this pair of flat bar gear shifters. The rear shifter can quickly change 2 gears at once. This is especially useful if you turn a corner and find an unexpected hill, or want to shift to a harder gear to quickly get up to speed. In addition to this, each shifter has a useful optical gear display, so you can easily see exactly what gear you’re in. Technologies: Rapidfire Plus: Mountain bikers have used Rapidfire plus since 1985. Rapidfire plus is still a winning choice from a wide range of riders from xc racers to freeriders. Rapidfire Plus is suited to quick shifting, giving riders the ability to downshift three gears in one stroke. Rapidfire plus shifters from Deore to XTR all feature 2way-release, which means release shifts by a pull of the index finger or push of the thumb 2-Way Release: The Rapidfire plus shifter release lever is commonly called a trigger because it is operated like a pistol, by pulling toward the grip. The release lever of Rapidfire plus shifters from Shimano Alivio to XTR can be operated in this same manner but adds the ability to activate a release shift by pushing with the thumb Optical Gear Display: The Optical Gear Display tells you which gear position is selected while riding your bike. You can see how many gears you can select either on the low side or top side, which makes shifting control easier

Technologies: Super SLR: SLR stands for SHIMANO Linear Response. The SUPER SLR design makes use of a friction-reducing mechanism in the caliper, lever and cable that improve response and modulation. Also for the lever, the SERVOWAVE mechanism is adopted to provide quick contact of shoe to rim and longer stroke from the initial braking effect for better control. SLR is the essential factor in the SHIMANO dual-pivot caliper that deliver more braking power than conventional side-pulls. Reach Adjust: Brake lever is equipped with a reach adjust mechanism. The distance from handlebar grip to lever can be adjusted to suit any hand size, type of riding and individual rider preferences.

This superb model features off-road inspired lever and bracket ergonomics which deliver the same light shifting operation as top-level systems. Shimano has also used an anti-slip design, so you can enjoy better grip and responsiveness whatever the riding conditions. Technologies: Servo Wave Action: When you pull a Servo Wave brake lever, initial pad travel is fast, so little lever movement is needed to bring the pads into contact with the rotor. The power multiplication factor then increases rapidly at the pad-to-rim contact so more of the lever stroke is used to apply greater braking power with improved control. Reach Adjust: Each brake lever is equipped with a reach adjust mechanism. The distance from the handlebar grip to lever can be adjusted to suit any hand size, type of riding and individual rider preferences.
