Shimano Deore XT SL-M8200-IR Right 12-Speed Shift Lever - I-SPEC EV

Crisp XT Shifting That Mounts Cleanly to Your Brake Lever

The SL-M8200-IR is the right-hand Deore XT 12-speed mechanical shifter with I-SPEC EV mounting, so it bolts directly to a compatible Shimano brake lever instead of taking a separate clamp on the bar. The redesigned paddle uses a shorter stroke and a firmer second click, which makes single shifts feel crisp and keeps accidental double-shifts from happening unless you mean them.

Rapidfire Plus with 2-WAY RELEASE lets you dump gears with a push or a pull, MULTI-RELEASE covers two gears in one stroke, and you can downshift up to three gears in one throw when you need a big jump for a climb. An Optislick cable and SP41 housing are included, and the rubber traction pad on the release lever is replaceable when it wears.

Whether you're building a new XT M8200 drivetrain, replacing a worn right shifter, or cleaning up cockpit clutter with I-SPEC EV, the SL-M8200-IR is the right-side XT shifter that matches the RD-M8200 derailleur.

Shimano was founded in 1921 by Shozaburo Shimano in Sakai, Japan, and the company is still based there today. More than a century later, it's one of the biggest names in cycling components. Deore XT sits just below XTR in Shimano's mountain lineup and brings race-proven performance to trail, enduro and everyday mountain riders.
