As arguably the most tactile part of Shimano s Deore XT M8100 groupset, the shifters play a vital part. The dimpled long sweep paddle, grooved release paddle and Optislick cable provide a 20% decrease in shift effort and create an enhanced interface between rider and controls. Adjust to the optimal position for any riding style or rider preference with clean cockpitEasy and accessible front shifting improves efficiency and controlRider tune-ableLightweight and compact design boosts enjoyment on and off the trailThe XT shifter paddles are now slightly longer and more textured, with dimples on the thumb lever used for up shifts and vertical ridges on the smaller downshift trigger intended to provide a more positive surface to reach for in wet conditions. Like the previous version, they feature multi-release shifting, which allows riders to downshift two gears with one push of the lever whilst an improved vivid indexing mechanism guarantees shift accuracy. The ball bearing construction and slick-polymer coated shift cable enable a smooth activation.

The tactile buttons of these Shimano Di2 TT shifters allow effortless and comfortable shifting even when your hands are cold These switches give the added option of being able to operate the gears from either the aero extension or the ST-9071 Dual Control brake levers (sold separately).
The all-new 2013 Dura-Ace group is the result of 40 years of development and innovation, tested to the limit at the highest level of competition in road racing, time trials and cyclo-cross. Dura-Ace delivers concentration, control and confidence with slick, fast, accurate performance that you can depend upon without distraction. Dura-Ace now has an 11-speed cassette with numerous gearing options to cover all situations. Leading edge design, materials and construction reduce weight, improve stiffness and enhance control.
These shifters come complete with SP41 gear cables, which are lubricated internally along their length with low-friction silicone grease to reduce cable friction. Plus, they are compatible with 10-Speed drivetrains, can be used with double or triple chainsets and are Shimano SIS indexed for accurate shifting performance.
The shift paddles now feature a more defined "click" for confidence in shifting and to prevent mis-shifts, also the shift buttons have been extended in length meaning they are easier to reach from the drops and hoods. E-Tube compatibility means that the function of the shift paddles can be customised to suit the rider. The 9170 shifters now include Synchro-shift technology that automatically moves the rear derailleur when the front ring is changed or moves the front chainring with the rear shifts to optimise chainline and drivetrain efficiency.
The 9170 shifters feature an ideal ergonomic shape that is comfortable in the hand and similar in size to mechanical braking versions of the shifter. The shift paddles now also feature a more defined "click" for confidence in shifting and to prevent mis-shifts. E-Tube compatibility means that the shift paddles can be customised to suit the rider. The 9170 shifters now include Synchro-shift technology that automatically moves the rear derailleur when the front ring is changed or moves the front derailleur with the rear shifts to optimise chainline and drivetrain efficiency. The 9170 brake calipers have been tuned to perform optimally in road racing conditions. They feature the Shimano Flat Mount system for a sleek and aerodynamic profile and Ice Tech pads for improved heat dissipation. This kit comes pre-bled and ready to use with shifter, hose, caliper and pads.
Dura-Ace R9100 STI are lightweight thanks to carbon fibre lever blades, carbon composite bracket body, and a titanium clamp band / fixing bolt. Shift cables routed under the bar tape using Polymer coated inner wires make for a smooth shift action, providing faster, lighter shifting. Vivid Index shifting with short stroke to the release levers gives a quick and accurate shift. Gear shift cables can either be routed round the front or rear of the handlebar to suit all rider preferences. Ergonomic shift arc follows natural hand movement with inward shift stroke distance reduced for rapid and precise gear changes. Small volume ergonomically designed smooth lever hoods for added comfort. Brake lever pivots have been positioned to increase power and improve ergonomics when riding on the hoods. Finely tuneable reach adjusters for the levers enable custom fitment for all hands. Please note: Cables sold separately.
The 9120 shifters feature a re-designed brake hood that is more comfortable to grip, especially for those with smaller hands. The shifters also offer up to 14mm of reach adjustment. The shifter hood has been slimmed down considerably from previous hydraulic STI shifters and is close in size and shape to the mechanical brake lever. The 9170 brake calipers have been tuned to perform optimally in road racing conditions. They feature the Shimano Flat Mount system for a sleek and aerodynamic profile and Ice Tech pads for improved heat dissipation.
E-Tube compatibility means that the function of the shift paddles can be customised to suit the rider. The shift paddles now feature a more defined "click" and have been extended in length for more confident and comfortable shifting. The 9150 shifters now include Synchro-shif technology that automatically moves the rear derailleur when the front ring is changed or moves the front chainring with the rear shifts to optimise chainline and drivetrain efficiency.
All set for racing, this brilliant component features a durable alloy body construction which allows it to withstand all the rowdiness that comes with adrenaline-fuelled competitions. Shimano has gone a step further with this model by equipping it with a carbon fibre reinforced polymer lever for phenomenal actuation strength without any excess weight weighing down your handlebars. Adjustable Di2 Road Shifter Engineered for accuracy, this stunning version is kitted out with a tooled reach adjust mechanism. This allows you to easily tweak the distance between your handlebars and the lever to suit your riding style, hand-size or the terrain conditions. As a result, you'll benefit from a more skilful grip as you pull the lever as well as more precise shifting performance due to it feeling like a natural extension of your limb. Technologies: SEIS: A technological innovation of the computerized shifting system based on the DI2 concept with which is called, the SEIS (SHIMANO ELECTRONIC INTELLIGENT SYSTEM). The SEIS innovative shift technology is still based on the SHIMANO INDEX SYSTEM (SIS) that has proved its superior gear changing characteristics over the years. The big difference is that in this case, the shifting action is provided for by electronics instead of mechanics. This electronic shifting system has been extensively tested over past two years by several professional riders in all conditions possible, such as rain, mud, low temperatures, cobble stone roads and combinations of all of these at the same time. Shifting is executed by simply pressing the button. No power is needed to shift, which gives important advantages since it is easier now to always keep a tight grip on the handlebar and to keep your concentration on riding instead on shifting. The shift system allows accurate and effortless shifting in difficult circumstances for example when you have cold hands or when you are completely exhausted. Furthermore, the shifting performance will never be affected by contaminated or stretched cables since the shifting signal is transferred electronically. The operating buttons work similarly to mechanical DUAL CONTROL LEVER so you don’t need to re-program your mind for the SEIS. 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. E-Tube: The E-TUBE platform's “Plug & play” and D-FLY wireless connections make it easier than ever to check the system's status, and apply customized settings to DI2 and SHIMANO STEPS components with a PC, tablet or smart phone. Wirelessly customize functions like SHIMANO SYNCHRONIZED SHIFT over Bluetooth® while out on a ride. Automatically checks for firmware updates on each startup to ensure all components are running the latest version. PC, smartphone and tablet applications can help you quickly diagnose errors and simplify the repair process. Beautiful visualisation of your real-time SHIMANO STEPS riding data on your smartphone. Advanced all-weather design resists rusting, stretching, and freezing.
