On RAPIDFIRE Plus triggers, the release lever is commonly referred to as the trigger because it acts like a gun, pulling toward the grip. The release lever on RAPIDFIRE Plus triggers, from the ALIVIO to the XTR, can be operated in the same way, adding the ability to activate the shift release by thumb pressure.

Rapidfire Plus

Mountain bikers have been using RAPIDFIRE Plus technology since 1985. RAPIDFIRE Plus continues to be the number one choice for a wide range of cyclists, from XC racers to freeriders. The RAPIDFIRE Plus is ideal for quick shifting, allowing cyclists to downshift three gears in one motion. All RAPIDFIRE Plus triggers, from DEORE to XTR, feature a 2-WAY RELEASE function, meaning gear changes can be triggered by pulling with the index finger or thumb pressure.
