New mechanical Ergopower Super Record™ 12x2 Speed Disc Brake controls: more ergonomic, more precise, more powerful, and easier to maintain.
Comfort, control, speed, and responsiveness are some of the main features of a bike's controls, helping keep all situations under control. The new mechanical controls for the Ergopower Super Record™ 12x2 Speed Disc Brake offer an ergonomic, comfortable and safe support and grip thanks to Vari-Cushion technology, essential for those who stay on the saddle for several hours.
The controls' inner workings are a concentration of technology and experience, starting with the "one lever-one action" function, which assigns each lever a single function, helping avoid shifting errors at tired or distracting moments, and then continue with the multiple shifting option which allows up- or downshifting by up to 5 sprockets at a time thanks to the Ultra-Shift mechanism. This function allows you to maintain cadence even in case of sudden changes of incline or rhythm, with speed and ease as useful as it is surprising.
In addition, it features a number of extremely useful functions, such as the adjustability of the levers; the Reach Adjustment function enables the brake lever to be brought closer to the low grip for riders with smaller hands, and the AMS Adjustment allows the rider to select two different settings in order to modulate the braking power: "Short" for an immediate, direct effect, or "Long" for more modulated, controlled braking.
The Super Record Disc Brake brake levers are engineered with a double curvature for improved grip and are lightened with two slots that are added to the one dedicated to Reach Adjustment.
