SHIMANO SLX Upgrade Kit M7000 1x11
With the SLX components you get top shifting performance at an unbeatable price.
Shifters
The Shimano SLX shifters trigger fast gear changes with their precise mechanics. Shimano's many years of experience have resulted in a good balance of low operating forces and pronounced lever feedback - shifting is virtually impossible.
The levers offer an 11-speed gradation and are only compatible with 11-speed Dyna-Sys11 rear derailleurs. The SL-M7000 I-Spec II shift lever is attached to the handlebars via the brake lever clamp. With the help of the I-Spec II mount, the cockpit of the bike is not only visually pimped, another advantage is the lower overall weight (shift lever / brake lever) compared to the version with clamp.
Rear derailleur
The 11-speed SLX rear derailleur is in no way inferior to the XT rear derailleur in terms of function and shifting performance, the only drawback being the slightly higher weight.Like its big brother from Shimano's top range, it always delivers fast and smooth shifting. With the revised Shadow+ technology, the chain pre-tension can be adjusted in two stages using a small lever on the rear derailleur. This allows you to decide whether the chain should run more smoothly with less chain tension, or whether it needs to be tightened for rough terrain. The Shadow design reduces the lateral protrusion of the rear derailleur and thus reduces the risk of the rear derailleur getting caught on sticks and stones. The derailleur pulleys with sealed bearings run very cleanly and offer a long service life!
Cassette
The SLX 11-speed cassette impresses with its outstanding shifting performance, acceptable weight and high wear resistance. Thanks to a fine gradation optimized for 1x11 drivetrains, gear changes are extremely precise and with short shifting pauses. An intelligent material mix of aluminium and steel increases the service life, but at the same time reduces the weight of the cassette. For example, the base body (spider), the lockring and the largest sprocket are made of aluminum to save weight. The remaining sprockets, on the other hand, are made of steel, which not only reduces wear, but also generates more rigidity so that the entire power can be converted into propulsion.
Chain
The directional Shimano 105 | SLX chain for 11-speed drivetrains offers excellent shifting performance in any situation thanks to the adapted geometry of the chain links. Even mud and dirt have little chance of attack thanks to the sophisticated design. In combination with SIL-TEC, Shimano's new surface coating, ultra-low friction is generated. Compared to simple coatings, SIL-TEC is a very special coating process. Thanks to the use of embedded fluorine particles, system performance is improved. The coating also reduces wear, driving noise and sliding friction, is dirt-repellent and abrasion-resistant, which significantly increases the durability of components treated with SIL-Tec.
