The new S-Reach shifters are more intuitive and comfortable. They’re equipped with distinctive push/push shifting and two thumb-accessible buttons close to the grip. Thumb travel is reduced by 11% and the two levers are 10 and 12mm closer to the rider. The new CUES update applies to the brake levers as well, as they bring the lever 20% closer to the handlebar, making stopping easier and building confidence.Riding piggyback on the launch of the Shimano ESSA and the increased diversity of the new updated CUES group, sits a refresh for Shimano’s non-series hubs. Both the front and freehubs will be completely renewed across the entire 11/10/9/8-sp[eed lineup. They will also be concentrated around a simple and easily understood line-up.
