The 105 ST-R7025 shift/brake lever by Shimano - especially for smaller hands
The Shimano 105 ST-R7025 shift/brake lever is similar in functionality to the ST-R7020, but with a reach reduced by 4 mm, it is aimed specifically at riders with smaller hands. A different angle to the handlebars and to the outside ensures that this target group can now also operate their disc brakes comfortably and safely. The shift mechanism of the Dual Control levers has been revised to ensure faster and smoother gearshifts with shorter lever travel. The brake unit now takes up less space, virtually eliminating the visual difference between hydraulic and mechanical braking systems. A shift cable with friction-reducing coating (Optislick) is supplied.

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.
