The Shimano XTR SL-M9000-I shifters – more adjustment options thanks to I-Spec II
The Shimano XTR SL-M9000-I shifter set was the first with I-Spec II function. This opens up various adjustment options (position and rotation of the shifter) and the possibility of space-saving mounting on the brake lever. The set consists of an 11-speed shifter for the right and a 2-/3-speed shifter (without mode converter) for the left. Both SL-M9000-I feature anti-slip surfaces and their powerful Index shift function. Inner cables with polymer coating additionally reduce the amount of force required. The housings are made of lightweight aluminium, the levers are made of carbon, so that in Cross Country or Enduro racing, unnecessary grams are left out of it.
Of course, as Rapidfire Plus models, the XTR shifters are capable of downshifting several gears at once, and they feature 2-Way Release. The release lever can be operated in two directions by pulling with the index finger or pushing with the thumb. Instant Release provides immediate release and Multi Release (on the 11-speed lever) provides fast gear changes in both directions, with pulling to change one gear and pushing to change two.

Rapidfire Plus is a type of Shimano shift lever construction that has been common in the mountain bike sector since 1985. Two levers, the main lever and the release lever, are used instead of a twist shifter. Rapidfire Plus shift levers, as the name suggests, ensure fast shifting. In addition, depending on the model, it is possible to downshift up to three gears with one shift stroke.
2-Way-Release
With 2-Way-Release, the shifter can be pressed and pulled to shift to the smaller sprocket or chainring. This allows you to adjust the shifting process to your personal preferences. Most Rapidfire Plus shifters are equipped with 2-Way Release.
Instant Release
With Instant Release, the spring and thus the cable are released immediately when the lever is actuated, which ensures an enormously fast shifting process. The delay caused by a two-step shifting process with click and release is eliminated, so that the gear change is considerably accelerated and improved.
Multi Release
With the Multi Release, which only affects the right-hand shift lever, two gears can be shifted with one actuation of the release lever without loss of shifting speed. This is independent of whether you use a Top-Normal or a Low-Normal rear derailleur.
I-Spec II
I-Spec II describes a variant of the connection between the brake lever and the shift lever on MTB or, more precisely, flatbar gears from Shimano. This type of mount makes for a tidy cockpit as it reduces the number of clamps needed. On some models it is also possible to adjust the shift lever both horizontally and vertically in relation to the brake lever. Then there is 12 mm of adjustment travel in the longitudinal direction and/or up to 15° of rotation – for optimum ergonomic adaptation to your riding style, seat position and anatomy.
