The new Dual Control Levers show the importance of state-of-the-art technology with regard to performance enhancing design. The lever blades are made of multiple carbon layers, finished with a unidirectional carbon fiber top layer with a special coating. This advanced technology ensures the best performance in terms of rigidity, durability and lightweight design. A better access to the brake lever from the upper side gives smooth braking operation with a closer pivot point. This results in better controllabillity for more aggressive riding style under severe conditions.
The shift cables are now hidden under the handlebar tape without sacrificing performance. This was made possible by the development of a new internal mechanism in combination with new PTFE (Teflon) -coated inner cables.
With a reach adjustment mechanism the Dual Control Levers can be adjusted to the rider. This will accommodate smaller hands and a wider assortment of bar bends. Furthermore, faster shifting is achieved by a 20% shorter stroke of the right shift lever. The hoods have an ergonomic design for increased comfort, even at long distance rides.
The shifters feature integrated buttons to operate the new wireless FlightDeck computer without the need to take the hands of the handlebar.
The Dual Control Levers are mounted on the handlebar with a titanium fixing band and a titanium bolt to reduce weigt.
Note: Can only be used with the new Dura Ace FD-7900 front derailleur.
