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.

Benefits & Features

・ 2-way release function

・ Shifting is easy in different riding styles; you can release the cable by pushing making shifting easier  when you cannot pull the lever.

・ Double function of Multi-release and 2-way release (XTR RAPIDFIRE only)

Pushing Pulling

2-way and Multi-release shifting allows for the changing of two gears with one stroke by pulling or pushing.
