• Narrower gap between arms
• Wider clearance with larger tire sizes
• Compatible with wider 28C tire size

Technology Used

STI Dual Control (DCL)
DCL stands for Dual Control Lever. It has braking and switching functions and is easy to operate. The improved ergonomics are probably even more important for the high standard than additional translations. The technology of the shift lever brings the stability of Shimano MTB technology and works so precisely and smoothly that it is possible to shift front and rear with just one finger. This is a highlight of Shimano's "Total Integration" (STI). To believe it, you just have to experience it for yourself.
The dual control shift / brake levers from Dura Ace, Ultegra and 105 have been optimized and have, for example, a weight-reduced joint on the inside of the shift mechanism and integration of the shift cable for easier steering. The extremely compact and precisely manufactured individual parts work together to achieve an unmatched switching speed.
