The DCL (Dual Control Lever) sets a new standard for shfting ease and swiftness. By integrating the shifting function into the brake lever, DCL allows you to shift up or down from virtually any hand position.

DCL is unbeatable when frequent and precise shifting is required. For best DCL results, pair with Low Normal RD. The compact design design of the new XTR and XT levers offer you more choice in handlebar shape and width, without interference of the brake hoses.

Sensitive and frequent shifting operation is a key to success in XC racing. DCL with Low Normal rear derailleur accomodates these needs.
