Shimano Ultegra 6700 2x10sp STI Shifters: Carbon fiber brake lever and dual, internal cable routing for both brake and shifter reduces weight, lightens steering response, and cleans up cockpit aesthetics. Redesigned ergonomics with shimmed reach adjustability and a closer brake pivot point improves braking performance while providing better compatibility with more bar profiles. Compatible with older Ultegra/Ultegra-SL 10-speed shifting systems, but recommended for use with newer 6700 brake calipers. FlightDeck compatibility with access buttons on levers (FlightDeck components not included). Set includes SP41 housing and PTFE-coated cables.
Dual Control Levers™ 1. Shifts & brakes simultaneously and from a variety of hand positions. Other shifters require a specific hand placement to execute a shift. Dual Control allows many different variations, including shifting from bar ends to complete a shift. This means that regardless of terrain, conditions, or maneuvers, a shift can be completed as desired. The option even remains for use of a thumb lever.
2. Adapts to YOUR hands and riding style. Lever pivots in two axis to obtain an optimal position in both angle and reach. Position the brake lever (both angle and reach) in an optimal position for a wide variety of hand sizes, preferences, and riding styles. Of course trigger systems can be adjusted for angle and reach, however, the angle of the brake lever is dependent on the angle of the shifter. So, the trigger shifter position must first be set so that the triggers can be reached and then the brake lever must then be set at the best possible position that remains. The "shifter" on a Dual Control unit is adjustable for position as you adjust the "brake lever" for reach. This means a much more customized fit for a great variety of hand sizes. The added benefit of a lever that pivots in two axes, creating less potential for bent or broken brake lever blades in the event of contact with the ground, trees, etc.
3. More intuitive shifting is easier for users to learn and execute. The function of the Dual Control levers, when combined with a Low Normal rear derailleur, is much more intuitive therefore, easier to explain to users. This is because you perform the same movement for both left and right levers for higher and lower gears.
4. Simple integration. One clamp, one fixing bolt, one adjustment and less weight.
