XTR M970 Dual Control V-Brake

Already the choice of Olympic and World Champion Cross Country racers, Dual Control makes a huge leap in performance for 2006. With enhanced ergonomics, improved performance and a significant reduction in weight, the message is clear: a winning design just got better. Dual Control levers enables downshifts and upshifts from multiple hand positions, ensuring that you never get stuck in the wrong gear at the bottom of that steep, unexpected climb. Shifting becomes faster, and even more intuitive with the inclusion of these features: Instant-release shifting A click of the release lever releases cable tension, same as it always has. The difference is that it now releases immediately when the main lever&secondary release lever is depressed making shifts that much faster. Multi-release shifting: With the new DCL you can now shift two gears with the release lever. 2-gear release change can be initiated with both the main lever and the secondary release lever Reach adjustment: Whether you have big or small hands, lever reach can be adjusted to adapt to rider preference
