Product Information

Full details

The Shimano Tourney / TY SL-RV400 Revo shifter is designed for cyclists seeking an intuitive and easy-to-use gear selection system for their 6-speed rear derailleurs. Its primary benefit is the flick-of-the-wrist operation combined with a clear optical gear display, making it ideal for casual riders, commuters, and younger cyclists. A key consideration is its specific voltage and plug type, requiring a transformer for use outside of Japanese power standards.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of derailleur is this shifter compatible with?

This shifter is compatible with rear right-hand 6-speed indexed mountain bike (MTB) derailleurs.

Do I need a transformer to use this shifter outside of Japan?

Yes, this product is designed for Japanese voltage (90-110V) and plug types. A voltage transformer is required if your local power supply is different to prevent damage.

How do I install the shifter cable?

Slide the shifter onto the handlebar, then thread the shifter cable through the shifter and connect it to your rear derailleur according to your derailleur's installation guide.

How can I make gear shifting smoother?

Ensure the shifter cable is clean and lubricated, and that cable tension is properly adjusted using the barrel adjuster. Keep the derailleur and cassette clean.

Can I use this shifter for a front derailleur?

No, this is a rear-only shifter designed specifically for controlling the 6 gears on the rear wheel.

What does 'indexed shifting' mean?

Indexed shifting means that each click of the shifter moves the derailleur by a precise amount, corresponding to one specific gear on your cassette, ensuring consistent and accurate shifts.

How do I read the optical gear display?

The display has window(s) that show numbers or indicators corresponding to the gear you have selected. For example, a '1' might indicate the smallest cog (highest gear) and a '6' the largest cog (lowest gear).

Troubleshooting

Shifter feels stiff or difficult to turn

Ensure the handlebar clamp is not overtightened. Lubricate the cable entry point with a light bicycle lubricant. Check if the cable is kinked or obstructed.

Gears are not shifting accurately or are skipping

Adjust the cable tension using the barrel adjuster. Ensure the rear derailleur is properly aligned and functioning. Check for any obstructions or damage to the derailleur or cassette.

Optical display is misaligned or unreadable

This is primarily a visual aid; ensure it aligns with the actual gear being selected. If severely misaligned, it may indicate a cable tension issue. Cleaning the display window may improve readability.

Shifter does not engage or release gears properly

Verify that the shifter is compatible with your rear derailleur (6-speed MTB). Ensure the shifter cable is correctly seated and has adequate tension. Check for internal damage within the shifter mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Intuitive twist-shift operation is easy to learn and use.
  • Clear optical display aids in quick gear identification.
  • Compatible with standard 6-speed rear derailleurs.
  • Reliable indexed shifting provides smooth gear transitions.
  • Compact design contributes to a clean handlebar appearance.

Cons

  • Limited to 6-speed systems, not suitable for modern multi-speed setups.
  • Requires a voltage transformer (90-110V) and plug adapter (Type A or B) for use outside Japan.
  • May require specific cable tension adjustments for optimal performance.
  • Can be less precise than trigger shifters for aggressive riding styles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Slide the shifter onto the handlebar in the desired position, typically on the right side. Tighten the clamp bolt securely but avoid overtightening.
  2. Cable Installation: Thread the shifter cable through the shifter body and connect it to the rear derailleur following the derailleur manufacturer's instructions.
  3. Tension Adjustment: Adjust the cable tension using the barrel adjuster on the shifter or derailleur to ensure smooth and accurate gear changes.

Compatibility:

  • This shifter is designed for MTB 6-speed rear derailleurs.
  • It operates with standard shifter cables and housings.
  • Important Note: This product is designed for Japanese voltage specifications (90-110V) and uses Japanese plug types (A or B). A transformer is required if using with different voltage or plug types to avoid damage. Ensure you use a compatible voltage converter if operating outside of Japan.

Care:

  • Periodically clean the shifter body with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
  • Inspect the shifter cable for fraying and replace as needed.
  • Lubricate the cable entry point on the shifter occasionally to ensure smooth operation.
