Shop Shimano Brake Levers at BIKE24

Shimano designs its brake levers as the heart of a fully integrated braking system – from road and gravel to MTB and city bikes. At BIKE24, you’ll find an extensive selection of Shimano brake levers tailored to your bike, your riding style and your preferred setup – from high-end Dura-Ace and XTR to the durable MT200 series for city and trekking bikes.

All Shimano brake levers are built with smart ergonomics, smooth modulation and a seamless system integration. Whether you’re using a hydraulic Dual Control lever on your road or gravel bike or a powerful MTB lever on your trail setup, every Shimano lever is engineered for its terrain and works flawlessly with the matching calipers and rotors. From alpine descents to daily commutes – Shimano brake levers give you confident, predictable control.

Why Shimano Brake Levers Stand Out

Shimano brings together several advantages that are important on the road, on trails and in everyday riding:

  • Comfort, control and adjustability: Ergonomic lever shapes, reach adjust and free stroke
  • Innovative technologies: SERVO WAVE for precise modulation, Dual Control for integrated shifting and I-SPEC EV for a tidy cockpit
  • Easy maintenance: Mineral oil hydraulics and One-Way Bleeding for straightforward brake bleeding

Shimano Brake Lever Families – Groups, Series and Systems at a Glance

Shimano structures its brake levers according to its trusted groupset hierarchy (like Deore, 105 or CUES), backed by decades of development expertise. The range covers everything from Shimano brake levers for classic rim brakes to hydraulic brake/shift levers for electronic Di2 drivetrains.

And with our smart filter tools, you can quickly find the lever that fits your bike – whether you’re upgrading your road bike or boosting performance on your MTB.

Shimano Road and Gravel Brake Levers

Shimano’s road and gravel brake levers set benchmarks for integration, ergonomics and advanced technology. Dual Control levers let you shift and brake from the same hand position – a major advantage on long rides or in competitive situations. The range spans everything from the high-end Dura-Ace series with wireless Di2 shifting and innovative SERVO WAVE modulation to affordable mechanical STI levers like Claris or Sora for ambitious beginners.

In the gravel segment, the GRX series shows Shimano’s pioneering spirit: ergonomic lever shapes with textured surfaces, shorter lever throw and optimized reach provide maximum control. GRX levers are tuned specifically for flared handlebars and offer confident handling off-road. From bikepacking adventures to gravel routes and sporty rides on mixed terrain – GRX delivers a balanced blend of durability, comfort and functionality.

Shimano MTB and Gravity Brake Levers

Shimano’s MTB brake levers are built for uncompromising control – even in the toughest conditions. Technologies like SERVO WAVE, I-SPEC EV and tool-free reach adjust give you the ideal mix of ergonomics, precision and stopping power. Trail, enduro and downhill riding demand sensitive response, short free stroke and direct lever feedback – strengths that the XTR, Deore XT and Saint series deliver exceptionally well. Whether you prefer a lightweight 1-finger lever for XC or a sturdy 3-finger lever for trekking and touring, Shimano offers high-quality solutions at every price point, each engineered for dependable performance on the trail.

Shimano City and Touring Brake Levers

For urban riding, long-distance trekking or e-bike use, Shimano develops brake levers that shine in everyday conditions. Reliability, easy maintenance and intuitive operation take priority – tuned for frequent braking, changeable weather and the added demands of motor assistance. These levers are built to feel natural from the first pull and to deliver consistent performance ride after ride.

System Integration, Modulation and Ergonomics – Shimano Brake Lever Technologies

Shimano combines decades of experience with meaningful innovation. From integrated shift–brake levers (STI) to SERVO WAVE technology and the I-SPEC EV interface – you get technology designed to deliver real benefits:

  • SERVO WAVE: Intelligent leverage curve for quick pad engagement and precise brake force control
  • Dual Control / STI: Integrated shift–brake levers for road and gravel bikes that let you shift and brake from the same hand position
  • Super SLR / SLR-EV: Optimized interaction between lever, cable and brake for better modulation and less friction on mechanical rim brakes
  • I-SPEC EV: Mount shift or dropper levers directly to the brake lever clamp for a cleaner cockpit
  • Reach Adjust and Free Stroke: Adjustment screws for lever reach and free stroke let you fine-tune the feel to your hand size, riding style and preferences
