Shimano Claris ST-R2000 2x8-Speed STI Brake/Shift Lever Pair

The Shimano Claris ST-R2000 brake/shift levers are built for riders on a 2x8-speed Shimano drivetrain who want braking and shifting from one control. Each lever combines both functions, so you can change gears at the front and rear without taking your hands off the bars.

Claris is Shimano’s series for sporty beginners who also value riding comfort. The ST-R2000 levers have a clear, tidy design inspired by the Tiagra and Sora models. They are also easy to reach from the grip position, which keeps operation intuitive.

Shimano says its Super SLR (Shimano Linear Response) technology gives smoother operation across the brake caliper, lever, and cable. This is meant to improve both brake response and modulation.

These are drop-bar levers for mechanical shifting and mechanical rim brakes, and they are listed for road bikes. The set comes as a left and right pair with shift cables, brake cables and housings included, so the cabling is covered.
