Shimano Deore XT M780 RapidFire PodsDelivering quick and dependable shifting performance, this shifter pod features a robust aluminium construction, which makes it durable on the most demanding of mountain bike (MTB) riding conditions. Coming complete with Rapidfire Plus technology, this version also allows you to shift down three gears with just one shift stroke.Features: Body Material: Aluminium Lever Material: Aluminium Cable Material: Stainless Steel Use: MTB Type: Rapidfire Plus Single or Pair: SingleTechnologies: Rapidfire Plus: Rapidfire Plus has been used by mountain bikers since 1985. Rapidfire Plus is still the first choice for a wide range of riding groups, from Cross Country racers to freeriders and downhillers. Rapidfire Plus is suitable for fast shifting. The rider can shift down up to three gears with one shift stroke. 2-Way Release: All newer Rapidfire Plus shifters are equipped with 2-way release (release in two directions). This means that the shifter cable is released by pulling with the index finger or pressing with the thumb. Instant Release: Instant Release shifting replaces the two-stage click and release shifting you are familiar with. Instant Release shifting releases cable as soon the lever is activated, resulting in the quickest possible gear changes. Whether it is an upshift with a top normal rear derailleur or a downshift with low normal rear derailleur a quicker shift is always a better shift. Multi Release (10-speed only): In earlier shifting systems, gear changes in one direction took place faster than gear changes in another direction. With Multi Release, two gears can now be changed with one lever actuation. The result: The fastest possible gear change in both directions, regardless of the type of rear derailleur used.A 2-year warranty is offered with all Shimano products from Chain Reaction Cycles (3 years on Dura-Ace and XTR products).Buy Shimano Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
Keeping you in full control of the ride, this fantastic component is engineered to perfectly match the needs and the riding styles of individual mountain bikers. It features the latest component engineering and some of the finest Shimano technologies available to set a new benchmark for all cross-country racers and trail riders. This is the ultimate choice of upgrade for riders who want to benefit from superior shifting performance without any unnecessary weight holding you back. Technologies: Dyna-Sys: SHIMANO’s next generation 10-speed MTB drivetrain. SHIMANO presents the drivetrain technology for mountain bikes: DYNA-SYS. This revolutionary technology uses a 10-speed cassette, but that is not the only feature of this system. Highlight is a completely redesigned drivetrain that creates real added benefits for the rider. It’s not only an extra gear… 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! Sil-Tec: SHIMANO’s ultra-low friction surface treatment. Superior to simple coating, SIL-TEC is an advanced plating process that improves system performance through the use of embedded fluorine particles. SIL-TEC products run smoother and wear longer in all conditions. Instant Release: INSTANT RELEASE shifting replaces the two-stage click and release shifting you are familiar with. INSTANT RELEASE shifting releases cable as soon the lever is activated, resulting in the quickest possible gear changes. Whether it is an upshift with a top normal rear derailleur or a downshift with low normal rear derailleur a quicker shift is always a better shift. Multi Release: Previous shifting systems shifted faster in one direction than the other. Choosing top normal or low normal always meant sacrificing shifting speed in one direction. Now with MULTI RELEASE you can release shift two gears in one stroke. The result - the fastest possible shifting in both directions regardless of rear derailleur choice. 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 color 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 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 pull of the index finger or push of the thumb.
