It’s about closer gear ratios for a smoother shifting performance and improved power transfer. It’s about riding optimized gear combinations that improve efficiency and durability. It’s all about performance: DYNA-SYS offers a more stable drivetrain for any type of rider! SP41: With OT-SP41 the entire length of the outer casing is pre-lubricated with a special silicone grease for quick and precise shifting performance. OT-SP41 maximally reduces the inner cable friction to provide quick response to operations and easy/effortless shifting. Moreover, power loss due to delay in shifting and fatigue by shifting especially when you ride on the terrain with many ups and downs as well as a long-distance is also reduced. 8 colour options are also available for outer casing to meet many requests. 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. 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 free-riders. 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.
All set for daring off-road adventures, this brilliant shifter features a revolutionary Rapidfire Plus lever.

The Hyperglide (HG) sprockets on the Shimano HG500 cassette have a computer designed tooth configuration with contoured shift gates, resulting in a crisp smooth shift even under load. Plus, the sprockets are cut away and drilled to reduce weight without reducing rigidity and the nickel-plated finish offers hard wearing resistance to corrosion.
The close-ratio gearing of the Shimano HG50 9 speed cassette allows more efficient use of energy through finer cadence control. The sprockets are cut away to further reduce weight without reducing rigidity and the Nickel-plated finish offers hard wearing resistance to corrosion.
