Technology
Dual Control Lever
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.
Shifting Lever Integrated With Brake Lever. Recommended For Road Bikes.:
The shifting lever is integrated with a brake lever. There are two levers, one large and one small. To upshift, use the small inner lever. To downshift, operate the large outer lever.
New Super SLR
SLR stands for Shimano Linear Response. The new super super SLR design makes use of a friction-reducing mechanism in the caliper, lever and cable that improve response and modulation. Also for the lever, the Servo Wave mechanism is adopted to provide quick contact of shoe to rim and longer stroke from the initial braking effect for better control. SLR is the essential factor in the Shimano dual-pivot caliper that deliver more braking power than conventional side-pulls.
