The SL-M315 shifter from Shimano - always know which gear you are in.

The Shimano SL-M315 is a shifter for city, touring and mountain bikes with 7-speed or 8-speed shifters and derailleurs and two or three chainrings. It has an integrated, easy-to-read gear indicator, which helps you to be aware of the gearing at all times. As a Rapidfire-Plus model, the SL-M315 helps to achieve fast, indexed shifting; you can downshift by up to 3 gears at once per lever operation.

TECHNOLOGY

Rapidfire Plus
Rapidfire Plus is a type of Shimano shift lever construction that has been common in the mountain bike sector since 1985. Two levers, the main lever and the release lever, are used instead of a twist shifter. Rapidfire Plus shift levers, as the name suggests, ensure fast shifting. In addition, depending on the model, it is possible to downshift up to three gears with one shift stroke.
