Shimano SLX M66-10 10 speed Shifter Set

Featuring updated internals over the previous SLX groupset, the latest Dyna-Sys version gets 10 speed compatibility for use with Shimano 10 speed derailleurs. Featuring smoother shifts and improved efficiency, the latest 10 speed components from Shimano give mountain bikes more usable gears and smoother transitions between each gear. Combining the best of Deore XT and the Shimano Saint groupsets, the SLX range combines strength and trail-friendly weight to give you the ultimate MTB components. If you want to remove any doubt in your drivetrains performance, Shimano SLX is a solid choice.

While Deore XT may be stealing all of the limelight for 2012, Shimano SLX continues to go quietly about its business providing solid trail-worth components that are often closer in performance to their more expensive brothers than the big-S would have you believe. The SLX Rapidfire shifters utilise Shimano's "2-Way Release" mechanism that allows riders to pull the release trigger with their index finger, or push it with their thumb. This allows you to operate the shifter exactly how you need to, allowing you to concentrate on the trail. Continuing the ergonomic theme, the shifters can be mounted inboard or outboard of the brake levers so you can have them in perfect reach for your hands and the gear indicator can also be removed, should you wish to de-clutter the handlebars. With the right hand shifter being compatible with Dyna-Sys 10 speed rear derailleurs, it features a more crisp and audible "click" for each gear change than previous Shimano shifters, letting you know exactly when you've fired off a shift.
