It features some of the finest technologies around, so you can tackle whatever obstacles come your way when navigating around the urban landscape. Additionally, its Free Stroke technology allows you to adjust the distance from the initial lever position to the pad contact point for comfortable and natural hand position for all day riding comfort. Its hood position provides more stopping power with less effort especially from the hood position for high braking power, making it ideal for cyclocross and on-road riding. Finally, its electronic shifting function based shift/brake lever allows for more compact, more ergonomic hood and lever design. Technologies: Shimano Electronic Intelligent System: The SEIS innovative shift technology is still based on the SHIMANO INDEX SYSTEM (SIS) that has proved its superior gear changing characteristics over the years. The big difference is that in this case, the shifting action is provided for by electronics instead of mechanics. Servo Wave Action: When you pull a SERVOWAVE brake lever, initial pad travel is fast, so little lever movement is needed to bring the pads into contact with the rotor. The power multiplication factor then increases rapidly at the pad-to-rim contact so more of the lever stroke is used to apply greater braking power with improved control. Free Stroke: The distance from the initial lever position to pad contact point can be adjusted to suit any hand size, type of riding and individual rider preferences. Reach Adjust: Brake lever is equipped with a reach adjust mechanism. The distance from handlebar grip to lever can be adjusted to suit any hand size, type of riding and individual rider preferences. Comfortable and natural hand position for all day riding comfort More stopping power, with less effort, especially from the hood position Fits a wide variety of hand sizes from the hood position Both lever Reach Adjust and Free Stroke adjust possible
