XT SL-M780 Shifters

At this point, it’s almost like we’ve run out of new things to say about Shimano’s XT shifters, largely because they’re one of those things that we just don’t have to think about that much. They always work, and always work well, and if they’re not working well, it’s usually a problem elsewhere in the drivetrain. This particular model is compatible with both 2- and 3-by-10 drivetrains, and features Shimano’s 2-Way Release, so you can push or pull the shifter lever to drop down the cassette.
