Product Description

High-energy components that are at home on or off the road

The new DEORE LX� group features the popular and revolutionary functions from the XTR� and DEORE XT� groups, including the Dual Control Lever� with ergonomic design, HOLLOWTECH� crankset and the hydraulic disc brake system. This more affordable group will give you all the control you need for your favorite XC trail.

The new MTB Dual Control Lever sets a new standard for shifting ease. It let's you shift gears up or down regardless of your hand position on the handlebar. Internally, shifting is executed by the tried and true high precision indexing system found on the M950 series of XTR, featuring three sets of ball bearings that result in more precise shifts, a shorter lever stroke and a decrease in shifting effort.

Shimano LX M580 Dual Control Levers For V-Brake feature refined lever shape and mechanism and Optical Gear Indicator.

Dual Control Levers�
1. Shifts & brakes simultaneously and from a variety of hand positions.
Other shifters require a specific hand placement to execute a shift. Dual Control allows many different variations, including shifting from bar ends to complete a shift. This means that regardless of terrain, conditions, or maneuvers, a shift can be completed as desired. The option even remains for use of a thumb lever.

2. Adapts to YOUR hands and riding style. Lever pivots in two axis to obtain an optimal position in both angle and reach.
Position the brake lever (both angle and reach) in an optimal position for a wide variety of hand sizes, preferences, and riding styles. Of course trigger systems can be adjusted for angle and reach, however, the angle of the brake lever is dependent on the angle of the shifter. So, the trigger shifter position must first be set so that the triggers can be reached and then the brake lever must then be set at the best possible position that remains. The "shifter" on a Dual Control unit is adjustable for position as you adjust the "brake lever" for reach. This means a much more customized fit for a great variety of hand sizes. The added benefit of a lever that pivots in two axes, creating less potential for bent or broken brake lever blades in the event of contact with the ground, trees, etc.

3. More intuitive shifting is easier for users to learn and execute.
The function of the Dual Control levers, when combined with a Low Normal rear derailleur, is much more intuitive therefore, easier to explain to users. This is because you perform the same movement for both left and right levers for higher and lower gears.

4. Simple integration.
One clamp, one fixing bolt, one adjustment and less weight.
