Shimano 105 STI ST-R7000 2-/11-speed Shift/Brake Levers

The Shimano 105 ST-R7000 shift/brake levers - optimised grip feeling

The Shimano 105 ST-R7000 shift/brake lever set with Dual Control shift levers for left (2x) and right (11-speed) ensures faster and smoother gear changes, made possible by a revised shift mechanism and shorter lever travel. The ergonomics have also been refined, the grip improved and aligned with that of the Ultegra models. The integrated braking function (Shimano Total Integration Technology) stands for reliable performance in the SLR-EV rim braking system. The extended reach adjustment also helps with control in the cockpit. The ST-R7000 shift/brake levers are supplied with friction-reducing Optislick cables, brake cables and housings.

Technology:

STI Dual Control (DCL)
DCL stands for 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 Shimano's 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.
The Dura Ace, Ultegra and 105 Dual Control shift/brake levers have been optimised and feature, for example, a weight-reduced joint on the inside of the shift mechanism and integration of the cable for easier steering. The extremely compact and high-precision manufactured individual parts result in an unrivalled shifting speed.

Optislick
Optislick cables feature a minimal and uniform electrically coated layer that improves cable routing efficiency and provides excellent corrosion resistance.
