The Shimano Ultegra R8070 DI2 Dual Control Levers blend Shimano's category-leading hydraulic disc brakes and Di2 electronic shifting. They feature an updated button feel and layout ensuring quick, precise shifting even while wearing thick gloves. The new levers also feature a greater range of reach adjust and a programmable ST button switch stop the hood.

Dual Control Lever

It has brake and shifting functions in the system and enables easy operation.

Ergonomic innovation is probably more critical to the higher standard performance than the added gearing. The shift internals borrow the robustness from our MTB technology and are so smooth and effortless that one finger shifts front and rear are possible. Indeed, shifting is the ultimate act of Shimano Total Integration, and simply has to be experienced to be understood.

Free Stroke
