Dual Control Lever: Dcl Stands For Dual Control Lever. It Has Brake And Shifting Functions In The System And Enables Easy Operation.
Ergonomic Innovation Is Probably More Critical To The Higher Standard Performance Than The Added Gearing. The Shift Internals Borrow The Robustness From Our Mtb Technology And Are So Smooth And Effortless That One Finger Shifts Front And Rear Are Possible. Indeed, Shifting Is The Ultimate Act Of Shimano Toal Integration, And Simply Has To Be Experienced To Be Understood.

One-Piece Mono-Body Design Not Only Does This Design Make The Shimano Dura Ace Br-R9270 Brake Caliper Incredibly Light, But Also Gives It Outstanding Stiffness Values. At The Same Time, The Flatmount Brake Made From A Single, Cold-Forged Aluminium Block Proves That High Performance Is Also Possible With Compact Dimensions.
Increased Pad Spacing A 10 % Increase In Brake Pad Spacing Also Allows For A Significant Reduction In Noise During Braking. In Addition, When The Rt-Mt900 Brake Disc Rotor (Sold Separately) Is Used, Its Deformation-Resistant Design, Even With Increasing Heat, Helps To Create An Extremely Quiet And Smooth Braking System.
Easy Maintenance To Simplify Maintenance, The Hydraulic 2-Piston Brake Caliper Not Only Features The Proven One-Way-Bleeding System, But Also A Separate Arrangement Of Bleed Nipple And Opening Screw.
