Shimano BL-R780 Brake Levers

The BL-R780 brake levers by Shimano - improved linear response technology

The Shimano BL-R780 brake levers are designed for Road bikes with straight handlebars, i.e. without drop bars. They are suitable for rim brakes, cantilever brakes, mechanical disc brakes, but also for V-brakes. Both the housing and the 2.5-finger levers are made of lightweight aluminium. The New Super SLR technology improves the controllability of the braking power and the interaction between the transmitter and receiver unit. Suitable brake cables are supplied.
