SunRace SL-R96 Right Shifter

SUNRACE SL-R96 Right Bar End Shifter - 9-Speed

Experience crisp, reliable shifting and a clean, classic cockpit with the SUNRACE SL-R96 Right Shifter. As a premier component in the R9 group, this bar-end lever is engineered to deliver exceptional performance for a wide range of cycling disciplines. Whether you are building a dedicated time-trial machine, a rugged touring bike, or a sleek city commuter, the SL-R96 provides the control and dependability you need to ride with confidence. This shifter is an excellent choice for riders looking to upgrade from older systems or for builders seeking a simple, robust, and stylish shifting solution.

The primary benefit of the SL-R96 shifter lies in its ergonomic and minimalist design. By mounting directly into the end of your handlebars, it frees up space on the main bar area, allowing for a cleaner aesthetic and more room for accessories like lights, bells, or a GPS unit. This placement also offers a distinct, tactile shifting experience that many cyclists prefer for its direct feel and unwavering reliability, a quality that stands out whether you´re used to modern integrated levers or classic friction shifters from an old 5s setup.

Crafted from a durable and lightweight alloy, this shifter is built to withstand the rigors of daily use and long-distance tours. The precise 9-speed indexing ensures that every gear change is immediate and accurate, allowing you to find the perfect cadence on steep climbs and fast descents. While some disciplines like aggressive MTB cycling require different ergonomics, the bar-end shifter excels in road and city environments where consistent performance and simplicity are paramount. This right-hand shifter seamlessly manages your rear derailleur, and it can be perfectly paired with a compatible front shifter to control your 2s or 3s crankset, creating a complete and efficient drivetrain.
