With its elegant design, the Shimano CUES SL-U8000-11R 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 ensures a tidy cockpit. Even more control when shifting is ensured by the easy-to-read optical gear display (OGD).

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.
