Product Description Shimano CUES SL-U8000-I shifter for Linkglide 11-speed - I-Spec II installation and two release functions The Shimano SL-U8000-I from the CUES series is a 11-speed shifter for high-quality city and touring bikes with Linkglide drivetrain. It is attached to the clamp of an I-Spec II compatible brake lever on the right side of the handlebars. As a Rapidfire Plus model, SL-U8000-I scores with fast gear changes and can downshift up to two gears at once. In addition, it is equipped with 2-Way Release Technology, i.e. you can operate the release lever both by pressing it with your thumb and by pulling it with your index finger. Instant Release Technology for a delay-free release of the shift cable is also on board. The levers are easily accessible, ergonomically shaped and can be operated with little effort, which is also helped by the double bearing. I-Spec II installation not only saves you space, it also allows you to adjust the vertical alignment of the shifter. SL-U8000-I is mainly made of lightweight aluminium; only the release lever is made of steel and plastic. A stainless steel shifter cable with a friction-reducing coating is included.

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. 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.
