Shimano STI R8020 Disc Shift/Brake Levers:

These disc brake levers are based on Ultegra STI technology and are compatible with Shimano’s mechanical Dura-Ace 9000, Ultegra 6800 and 105 5800 11-speed groupsets. Shimano’s engineers have succeeded in integrating a mineral oil cylinder, including the complete braking system, into these nevertheless very compact mechanical shift-brake levers. The brake levers are made from multi-layer composite material; this technology guarantees maximum stiffness, durability and a lightweight design. Thanks to the improved positioning of the brake cable, a smooth braking action is achieved, resulting in optimised control in extreme conditions. The Dual Control shift/brake levers can be optimally adjusted to the rider via a grip width adjustment and are also very well suited to riders with small hands. The new shift levers allow for significantly faster shifting. This is achieved through a 20 per cent shorter cable. The grips feature an ergonomic design for greater comfort – even over long distances.
