Keeping your momentum flowing, this road-focused flat bar brake lever utilises Shimano Linear Response technology to reduce friction in your caliper, lever and cables. This means you'll enjoy improved responsiveness and modulation on your daily commute or journey to the coffee shop. One final highlight is it's kitted out with an adjustable reach, so you can easily fine-tune the distance between your handlebar and each lever for a more customised feel. Technologies: Super SLR: SLR stands for SHIMANO Linear Response. The 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 SERVOWAVE 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. Reach Adjust: Brake lever is equipped with a reach adjust mechanism. The distance from the handlebar grip to lever can be adjusted to suit any hand size, type of riding and individual rider preferences.
Giving a firm and efficient grip, the dual control R7025 lever features a redesigned internal shifting unit, providing the same shifting operation as top-tier systems and gives enhanced performance no matter how harsh the under-wheel conditions get. The R7070 caliper is the perfect partner for the lever, offering unrivalled heat dissipation, convenient access for tools and a simple bleeding system to keep it in top-notch condition at all times. Easy to set up and maintain, this powerful 11-speed compatible braking system is ideal for the modern road rider. Click here to view the Shimano Brake Reference Guide.

It features some of the finest technologies around, so you can tackle whatever obstacles come your way when navigating around the urban landscape. Additionally, its Free Stroke technology allows you to adjust the distance from the initial lever position to the pad contact point for comfortable and natural hand position for all day riding comfort. Its hood position provides more stopping power with less effort especially from the hood position for high braking power, making it ideal for cyclocross and on-road riding. Finally, its electronic shifting function based shift/brake lever allows for more compact, more ergonomic hood and lever design. Technologies: Shimano Electronic Intelligent System: The SEIS innovative shift technology is still based on the SHIMANO INDEX SYSTEM (SIS) that has proved its superior gear changing characteristics over the years. The big difference is that in this case, the shifting action is provided for by electronics instead of mechanics. Servo Wave Action: When you pull a SERVOWAVE brake lever, initial pad travel is fast, so little lever movement is needed to bring the pads into contact with the rotor. The power multiplication factor then increases rapidly at the pad-to-rim contact so more of the lever stroke is used to apply greater braking power with improved control. Free Stroke: The distance from the initial lever position to pad contact point can be adjusted to suit any hand size, type of riding and individual rider preferences. Reach Adjust: Brake lever is equipped with a reach adjust mechanism. The distance from handlebar grip to lever can be adjusted to suit any hand size, type of riding and individual rider preferences. Comfortable and natural hand position for all day riding comfort More stopping power, with less effort, especially from the hood position Fits a wide variety of hand sizes from the hood position Both lever Reach Adjust and Free Stroke adjust possible
The Shimano saint lever also benefits from advanced Saint ICE Technologies. Brake levers with this feature included have shorter more ergonomic levers with tool-free lever adjustment and adjustable free stroke for the ultimate in customisation. As an added bonus, Shimano has given the lever blade an anti-slip surface, which prevents your fingers from slipping when you need to quickly come to a stop.
Giving a firm and efficient grip, this dual control R7025 lever features a redesigned internal shifting unit, providing the same shifting operation as top-tier systems and gives enhanced performance no matter how harsh the under-wheel conditions get. Comfortable and convenient, this excellently designed lever and shifter combo is a great addition to your hydraulic setup. Please Note: These levers are designed as the ideal crash replacements, so do not come with the hydraulic hose connector (Shimano Part Number: Y8RD01000). However, for existing systems, you will be able to re-use the original hydraulic hose connector.

This fully bled lever and caliper comes without adaptors or rotors giving you the freedom to customise them to suit your ride. Additionally, they can be used with a centre-lock rotor system (sold separate) which fits easily to the centre-lock compatible hubs. Alternatively, standard 6-bolt rotors can be used. Its two-piece caliper is robust and durable for tackling all the challenges that come with a long day out on the trails. Finally, this is an ideal choice of a replacement for your old or worn-out existing model, for fast and precise off-road braking performance.
Ready for use with V-brakes and cable-operated disc brakes, the Shimano Deore V-Brake levers bring you precise stopping power and can be used on most bikes that use flat handlebars. Tech Tip: Although your flat handlebars may be 31.8mm or 35mm at the central stem clamping area, most flat bars have a standard 22.2mm diameter at the ends of the bars. These brake levers, as with most on the market, are designed for bars with this standard 22.2mm measurement at the end of the bars.
The new Rival brake lever features the same ErgoFit ergonomic design introduced on SRAM RED but delivered in a sleek, forged aluminium offer.
Available with a unidirectional carbon lever, the new SRAM brake levers are fully compatible with SRAM Red, SRAM Force and SRAM Rival brake calipers.
