Shimano CUES SL-U6001 2-speed Shift Lever left with Optical Gear Display
Product information "CUES SL-U6001 2-speed Shift Lever left with Optical Gear Display"
The Shimano CUES SL-U6001 2-speed Rapidfire Plus Mono shifter is characterised by its lightweight, ergonomic and compact design. Shifting to the large and small chainrings is done using just a single lever. The lever’s new shape and low operating force ensure ease of use and comfort. For riders, this means a cleaner-looking cockpit that better complements the design language of modern bikes.
SHIMANO is extending its ‘Clean Cockpit’ concept to a wider range of hydraulic brake and shift levers, thereby making cleaner cockpit layouts and tidier cable routing more accessible across a broader spectrum of cycling segments.
SHIMANO’s ‘Clean Cockpit’ concept, first launched in 2023 with the high-end CUES series, was developed to enhance the visual integration and aesthetics of modern bicycles. By creating a tidier handlebar area and better-organised cable routing, the concept helps to give the bike a more refined and contemporary appearance.
Although the concept was well received, its application was initially limited to a small number of high-end bikes. With this latest product update, SHIMANO is now bringing the ‘Clean Cockpit’ approach to the mid-range market, starting with new hydraulic brake levers and compatible shift levers.
