Shimano Cues is a beacon for all who seek an active lifestyle. We created this brand to provide versatility for a wide range of bike styles. It features incredibly smooth and stress-free shifting, the robustness to withstand the demands of e-biking, and a durable design that lasts up to three times longer. Embrace the joy of riding and get moving with Shimano Cues.

Sleekly designed shifter looks and handles amazingly.
Its new shape, light operation, and clean cable routing make this shifter a delight to use.

TECHNOLOGIES:
OPTISLICK
OPTISLICK cables feature a minimal and uniform electrically coated layer that improves cable routing efficiency and provides excellent corrosion resistance.
RAPIDFIRE PLUS
Mountain bikers have used RAPIDFIRE PLUS since 1985. RAPIDFIRE PLUS is still a winning choice from a wide range of riders from XC racers to freeriders. RAPIDFIRE PLUS is suited to quick shifting, giving riders the ability to downshift three gears in one stroke. RAPIDFIRE PLUS shifters all feature 2WAY-RELEASE, which means release shifts by pull of the index finger or push of the thumb.
2 WAY RELEASE
The RAPIDFIRE PLUS shifter release lever is commonly called a trigger because it is operated like a pistol, by pulling toward the grip. The release lever of RAPIDFIRE PLUS shifters can be operated in this same manner but adds the ability to activate a release shift by pushing with the thumb.
INSTANT RELEASE
INSTANT RELEASE shifting replaces the two-stage click and release shifting you are familiar with. INSTANT RELEASE shifting releases cable as soon the lever is activated, resulting in the quickest possible gear changes. Whether it is an upshift with a top normal rear derailleur or a downshift with low normal rear derailleur a quicker shift is always a better shift.
