from stalking area Date Reviewed: April 11, 2009 Strengths: they are lower profile so you can get your brake levers and shifters at a similar angle. Weaknesses: the redesign is bad. shifters feel like the bottom line deore shifters. choppy and rough. the downshift is extremely bad. the change with the dual downshift messed with the internals and made them bad. the upshift is fine. i don't know what happened to them but they change them a lot. the last rapid fire shifters i had were great. these are bad enough to where i want to swap them out for the older models. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: home trail Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $120.00 Purchased At: universal cycles Similar Products Used: xt rapid fire, sram x-9, sram x-7. Bike Setup: intense 6.6, fox van 36.

from Newport Beach, CA, USA Date Reviewed: December 14, 2008 Strengths: This shifter came with the bike. It has a nice light shifting touch & I like shifting down with either my thumb or index finger. Weaknesses: I agree with one of the other raters. The levers are too close together. When I try for 3 or 4 lower gears at a time, I frequently hit the downshift lever. This limits the shift to two. It is a nuisance, but for the most part, I still like the shifter. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: Lots of different rapidfire and grip shift shifters Bike Setup: 2008 Stock carbon rush 2

from Toronto, Canada Date Reviewed: April 5, 2008 Strengths: 2-Way Release, Instant Release, Solid feel Weaknesses: - Missing Multi Release Feature - down shift two gears at once - I don't like the look when you look at it from the front, it says 'Shimano' (no XT) which makes it look like the Deore. Would have been better if it had no optical gear display in the first place. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $100.00 Similar Products Used: Shimano LX, XT M750, XTR, Deore, Sram Attack (X9), Sram 9.0 Grip Shift, Sram X0 Trigger Bike Setup: Ventana El Fuego, Fox F80 RLT, DT XR 1540, Shimano XT M770 FD/RD/CS/SL, RaceFace Turbine crankset w/ Blackspire Superpro rings, Time ATAC Carbon
