Description of Shimano America XTR Dual Control Mountain Bike Shift Levers (Pair) – Mechanical Pull:
This set of mechanical XTR Dual Control Levers is the perfect kit to refresh your old hyperlight hardtail or pimp out a rebuild project. Just because your rear stays lack disc tabs, you shouldn’t settle for mid-grade components. This pair of levers works with linear-pull (Shimano ‘V’) brakes, and mechanical ball-bearing disc brakes. Shimano’s Dual-Control design uses a single lever to control both braking and shifting, simplifying and streamlining your ride. This kit is compatible with 9-speed Rapid-Rise rear derailleurs and triple front chainrings, and includes cables and housing.
Bottom Line: XTR for old-schoolers (like yours truly).
