Shimano ’ Y05T98010 hand rests are replacement parts for Shimano Sora 9-speed road shifters, designed to restore the original comfort and ergonomics of the STI levers. They fit over the rubber hoods that cover the shifters, providing a better grip and effective protection against vibrations and the elements.

Compatible with several generations of 9-speed Shimano levers (including the ST-R3000, ST-R3030, ST-R2000 and ST-R2030), these hand grips allow you to give your levers a new lease of life without having to replace the entire system.

Role and purpose

Hand rests play a vital role in the cyclist’s comfort and safety:

• Improved grip on the shifters
• Reduce vibrations over long distances
• Protection of the levers’ internal mechanisms
• Replacement of parts that have worn out or become sticky over time
• Restoring the original level of comfort Shimano

Over time, rubber components can become loose, torn or slippery: replacing them restores an optimal feeling of control.
