The Deore SL-M6100 12 Speed Shift Lever benefits from the trickle-down of technology from Shimano's higher-end components to provide light and responsive shifting and improved cockpit integration with the I-Spec EV system.

Who's this item for: This shifter is recommended for use with the Deore M6100 drivetrain but it's a great choice for anyone that running a Shimano 12 speed setup and needs to replace their shifter.

Number of gears: The M6100 is a 12-speed shifter but check out the link below if you're after the M5100 Deore 11-speed shifter.

Materials: Aluminium bracket, stell and glass fibre reinforced polymer lever body and base cover.

Mount style: Available in both 22.2mm and I-Spec EV mounting options.

What's in the box? Shifter, shifter cable, cable housing, cable crimp, and end caps.

Pros: Similar technology and shifting performance as you'd find on Shimano's top-end offerings at a fraction of the price.

Cons: No rubber gripper pads on the shifter paddles. Shifting performance may not feel quite as crisp as on the more premium offerings.
