The new mechanical Ergopower Record 12x2 Speed Rim Brake controls: aesthetically pleasing and functional.
The new carbon unidirectional levers lend the Record Rim Brake controls an air of power, stiffness and reliability. These new controls allow riders to select two different lever-handlebar positions spaced to adapt to the size of the hand, whilst keeping braking efficiency constant. This is accomplished through the new angle of the up-shifting lever that prevents any possible contact with the curve of the handlebar.
The position of the lever is adjusted by acting directly on the controls in a simple and safe manner. The Vari-Cushion technology offers an ergonomic, comfortable and safe support and grip. The one lever-one action feature assigns each lever one function to prevent shifting errors. The Ultra-Shift mechanism enables upshifting up to three sprockets at a time and downshifting a full five. The new Record 12x2 Speed Rim Brake levers introduce a double curvature to improve grip and thus safety.
