Shimano 105 R7000 11-speed double chainring road bike handlebars - ISTR7000DPAL

Shimano ’s 105 ST-R7000 shifters (part number ISTR7000DPAL) are dual-control shifters designed for 2x11-speed mechanical road drivetrains. They combine gear shifting and braking into a single unit, offering modern ergonomics and the precision found in top-of-the-range Shimano s such as Ultegra and Dura-Ace.

Designed for standard road handlebars (23.8 to 24.2 mm), they ensure a comfortable grip, an optimised lever travel and reach adjustment to suit different hand sizes and riding styles.

FAQ

Are these shift levers compatible with a Shimano 10-speed groupset?

No. The ST-R7000 is designed exclusively for Shimano 11-speed road drivetrains.

Can they be used with disc brakes?

No. This version is designed for rim brakes. For disc brakes, you’ll need the ST-R7020 versions.

Are they compatible with Ultegra or Dura-Ace?

Yes, they can be used with certain Shimano -road 11-speed components, but optimum performance is achieved with a complete 105 R7000 groupset.

What is the difference compared to previous generations (5700 / 5800)?

Gear changes are smoother, lever travel is reduced and ergonomics are significantly improved, with better integration of the internal mechanism.
