Short Name: | Shimano SIS | Year Introduced: | 1986 |
Speed Range: | 6sp - 10sp | Indexed Component: | Shifter |
After being introduced in the Dura-Ace line, Shimano's SIS shifting system was altered when it was introduced into the 600EX product. Like with the Campagnolo Syncro system, the original design had too short of a cable pull per shift. This new SIS ratio allowed for more tollerance of friction and dirt in the shifting system. However shimano decided not to change the Dura-Ace system until 1997 when 9sp was introduced. This created an incompatiblity between Dura-Ace and other SIS systems. |

Component List |
Generally in Indexed systems, either the shifting or the derailleur component contains the indexing logic.
Here is a list of components currently on VeloBase.com which utilize the Shimano Index System (SIS) shifting mechanism.
