The Shimano Deore SL-M6230 shifter introduces a new ergonomic lever design to the Deore 11-speed drivetrain. Pairs with the M7230 LinkGlide long-cage rear derailleur and 11-50t cassette for a complete E-MTB setup, or upgrade previous-generation LinkGlide 11-speed drivetrains. 2-Way Release and double shifts deliver precise, smooth shifting, while the I-SPEC EV or 22.2mm clamp band adds setup versatility and handlebar comfort.
Features

- Multishift: Allows rider to downshift two gears in an instant
- 2-Way Releaase: Release shifts with a single push or pull, just as quickly as you make them
