Experience a revolution in cycling efficiency with the Shimano CUES SLU8000 shift lever. Catered to meet the demands of mid-grade riding styles, the CUES collection of components epitomizes compatibility, versatility, and durability.

The SLU8000 shift lever introduces the ground-breaking LINKGLIDE technology, proven to be up to 300% more durable than the current Hyperglide drivetrain. This innovation ensures smooth shifting, eliminating interruptions to your ride.

The design includes a clamp band pod, allowing the shift lever to pair with any brake lever. The Rapidfire Plus lever design enhances your experience, allowing shifting from various riding positions for extra convenience. The lever can swing in either direction and can be easily actuated by either your thumb or index finger, thanks to the 2-way release.

Our Instant Release feature delivers super-fast shifts. The moment you actuate the lever, the chain is delivered to the next gear, beating any fraction of hesitance.

This shift lever also boasts an easy-to-read optical gear display and a barrel adjuster for fine gear tuning. It comes complete with OPTISLICK steel inner and SP41 outer cables for superior function and durability.

The easy access clamp band adjustment promises a quick set-up, perfect for those on the go. And with 11-speed compatibility, this shift lever works seamlessly with your LINKGLIDE drivetrain.
