Shimano Ultegra Di2 STI ST-R8000 2-/11-speed Shift/Brake Levers

The Shimano Ultegra ST-R8000 shift/brake levers - intuitive shifting and even more comfortable braking

With the Shimano Ultegra ST-R8000 shift/brake lever set you can shift quickly and intuitively (2x11-speed) thanks to STI Dual Control technology, but also brake well in the SLR EV system with rim brakes. The reach adjustment is more generous than on previous Ultegra models, making operation more convenient. An update of the inner workings led to even more precise shifts, which are now much smoother at the front. The Ultegra ST-R8000 have a high carbon content and are supplied with high-quality polymer shift cables.

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.
