Shimano Dual Control Shifters

Today I am going to make my review on the Shimano LX Dual Control Shifters. I have recently been able to take these levers out on the trail to test. I was very impressed. With the combination of shifting and braking off of the same lever is genius. The ability of never having to move your fingers to use separate brake levers and shifters allows for less concentration need to operate while riding. It also is very easy for a road cyclist to switch to mountain biking because this lever system is just like a road bikes. This I know from experience because I recently purchased a mountain bike with these Shifters. The shifters do come with a thumb shifter but is not needed since the actual lever will move in both directions. Here is a photo of the levers provide from the Shimano website.
