Shimano ESSA ST-U2030 Brake/Shift Lever - STI | New Super SLR - 8-speed | right (R)

ESSA – The Essence of Active

Robust, versatile and designed for an active lifestyle, ESSA components are suitable for a wide range of sporty leisure bicycles, including mountain, fitness and city bikes. With the help of the compatibility to parts from the Acera, Altus and Tourney TX groupsets, the ESSA series also noticeably enhances Shimano's lineup of 8-speed shifting systems. At the same time, the complexity of the entry-level range is significantly simplified and harmonized.

Shimano ESSA ST-U2030 shift/brake lever

With the help of the ST-U2030 brake/shift lever from the ESSA series, even more cyclists can benefit from the ergonomic advantages of the mechanical high-end models from Shimano. 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 Dual Control lever is suitable for mechanical disc brake calipers and rim brake calipers that feature Shimano's New Super SLR technology.

Dual Control Lever (DCL) | The Shimano DCL levers combine braking and shifting functions in one control unit for easy as well as comfortable operation. In raising the standard of performance, their innovative ergonomics are even more important to consider than adding additional gearing. However, the highlight of the STI shifters (Shimano Total Integration) shifters, is the ability to change gears front and rear with just one finger. The Dual Control levers owe this not only to an extremely precise and smooth operation, but also to the same stability for which Shimano's MTB technologies are already known.

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. At the same time, the SLR system is the decisive factor for the superior braking power of Shimano's Dual Pivot side-pull brakes compared to conventional models.
