Shimano's RS505 Hydraulic STI levers offer powerful hydraulic braking and 105 level 11-speed shifting. Like the Shimano 105 5800 STI levers, the
RS505 STI levers feature 10mm of reach adjustment to fit hands of all sizes.
The shifting portion of the
RS505 STI levers are compatible with Shimano''s 105, Ultegra and Dura Ace 11-speed groups and the front shifter works with double front cranks. If you would like to run a Shimano mountain rear derailleur with the
RS505 shifters,
Wolf Tooth makes an adaptor called the
Tanpan. Included with the
RS505 are 1800/2300mm derailleur cables and a OT-SP41 cable housing in 600mm (2 sections) and 300mm lengths.
The
RS505 hydraulic disc brake compatibility sets it apart from the standard 105 shifters and is designed to work best with the following disc brake calipers:
While the
RS505 STI lever set does not include calipers, it does include the required BH-59-SS hose kit and 2 50ml bottles of Shimano mineral oil. If you are thinking of installing these yourself a complete run down of the bleed process can be found
