The construction, which is based on the design of these components, suits not only suitable a wide range of hand sizes, but also offers more grip for smoother and more intuitive control. The brake lever is suitable for mechanical disc brake calipers and rim brake calipers that feature Shimano's New Super SLR technology.

New Super SLR | SLR stands for Shimano Linear Response. Based on a smoother operation of the brake caliper, lever and cable, the current Super SLR technology optimizes both the response and the modulation of the brake.
