Shimano knows trickle-down, and it delivered features from XT to SLX to bring it up to 11-speed greatness. SLX deserves all of the attention each of its shiny bits have received from the glossies, from the new brakes right down to the SLX SL-M7000 Trigger Shifter. Now featuring a sleeker design that's been molded to better fit the hand, the shift levers also come with a longer body that allows for quicker shift initiations when you're focusing on blasting through an approaching rock garden. When you throw the levers, the stainless steel shift cable's OPTISLICK coating helps it engage faster, with less effort, and the levers allow you to downshift up to three gears in one stroke. You can also choose whether you want to use your thumb or index finger to release gears depending on which is easier given the terrain. All of these changes collectively resulted in a reduction in shift effort of around 20%, according to Shimano, which makes a difference when you're trying to keep pace on an exhausting, challenging trail.

First swapped the original Sram NX RD on my fat bike with a SLX RD GS I had laying around in my bike parts. After doing so a slight improvement in shifting but after installing this SLX 11speed shifter; A much more improvement in smooth accurate and fast rapid fire shifting than the original Sram NX shifter.Would recommend it if you are looking to upgrade or replace faulty/damaged parts.

Butter smooth touch shifting. Like the index finger and thumb up shifting and very light touch thumb downshfting. Also gear display is good to know what gear you are in when you are not sure.

this is a solid shifter, everything about just feels amazing, I used it on my 9-speed derailleur and cassette and it works fine, obviously not ideal but it works and functions better than the shifter that I had on it.

This is an excellent shifter. Smooth, quiet, accurate, and easy to click. No issues. Easy to install and adjust. Interesting, I bought an XT 11 speed for another bike and there is a marked difference, the XT was harsh, clunky, harder to shift and inaccurate-I could never get it to shift right and it would rattle the chain gears. This SLX works perfect on an 11X46 drive chain. Save your money and get the SLX.

I upgraded my sons 1x9 to a 1x11 using SLX. This is quality from Shimano! Way better than SRAM! Shimano design blows away SRAM

Nice and shiny new in the box, works great after online installations help, used to the old school paper instructions...
