DCL (Dual Control Lever)

The lever performs braking and shifting functions and is easy and intuitive to use. Ergonomic innovation is essential for the highest performance standards. The new internal shifting mechanisms owe their robustness to Shimano MTB technologies, and are so efficient that it is possible to change gear or chainring with a simple touch of a finger. In fact, the shifting action represents the final achievement of the Shimano Total Integration philosophy, and only those who have tried it can understand its advantages.

The 105 Dual Control Lever shifters have an optimized structure with features such as a lightweight pin section on the inner side of the shifter unit and an integrated shift cable to lighten the steering. The numerous components have been made so compact and precise to ensure unprecedented performance at high speeds.
