The Metrea BL-U5000 brake lever by Shimano - feel good in city traffic
The Shimano Metrea BL-U5000 brake lever offers precisely controllable braking power, which is of enormous importance in city traffic. It has a 2.5 finger lever and is designed for straight handlebars, not drop bars. As it is made entirely of aluminium, rust is not an issue. In addition, BL-U5000 has an I-Spec II mount on which a suitable shifter can be integrated to save space.

Technology:
I-Spec III-Spec II describes a variant of the connection between the brake lever and the shift lever on MTB or, more precisely, flatbar gears from Shimano. This type of mount makes for a tidy cockpit as it reduces the number of clamps needed. On some models it is also possible to adjust the shift lever both horizontally and vertically in relation to the brake lever. Then there is 12 mm of adjustment travel in the longitudinal direction and/or up to 15° of rotation - for optimum ergonomic adaptation to your riding style, seat position and anatomy.
