Shimano CUES SL-U8000 Shift Lever - Rapidfire Plus | I-Spec II - 11-speed | right (11IR)

With its elegant design, the Shimano CUES SL-U8000-11IR shift lever not only looks good, it also impresses with its excellent operability. But the shifting performance is not neglected either, as the 2-Way Release and Instant Release functions guarantee fast gear changes. While the compact design of the Rapidfire Plus shifter contributes to weight optimization, a clean shift cable routing and the I-Spec II technology ensure a tidy cockpit.

Exclusively compatible with the Shimano LinkGlide shifting system.

Rapidfire Plus | With this shift lever system, the thumb is used to shift to a larger sprocket and the index finger to a smaller sprocket. When downshifting, up to 3 gear steps can be changed simultaneously.

2-Way Release | The 2-Way Release function allows the release of the shift cable by pressing with the thumb or pulling with the index finger. So you do not have to adjust your riding style to the rear derailleur, but the rear derailleur adapts to your riding style.

Instant Release | The Instant Release function replaces the two-step click and release process. Because the spring releases the shift cable immediately when the lever is actuated (and not only when released), faster shifting operations than ever before are possible.

I-Spec II | The integrated I-Spec II mounting system for brake and shift lever comes with only one clamp. In this way, the sophisticated concept not only contributes to an attractive appearance and a space-saving, clear cockpit, but also brings about 10 grams of weight savings. The fine adjustment option in the horizontal direction ensures an individually and optimally adapted setup.
