The Shimano Sora ST-R3000 STI Dual Control Lever Set brings refined ergonomics and integrated shift-brake control to entry-level and fitness road riders. Combining shifting and braking in a single lever body, this 2x9-speed set pairs perfectly with the Sora R3000 groupset — giving you smooth, confident control on every ride.

Highlights

• Integrated STI technology: Shift and brake from the same lever body for seamless, intuitive control on drop-bar road bikes.
• Super SLR brake actuation: Short-pull lever actuation delivers linear brake response and confident stopping power with Shimano Linear Response technology.
• Reach adjust: Screw-type reach adjustment lets you dial in the precise distance from handlebar to lever — suits riders of all hand sizes.
• Internal cable routing: Cables run internally through the lever body for a clean, uncluttered cockpit and reduced interference with bar-wrap.
• 2x9-speed shifting: Matched left (2-speed front) and right (9-speed rear) levers for a complete Sora R3000 drivetrain solution.
• GFRP bracket body: Glass fibre reinforced plastic construction keeps the lever set lightweight and durable through years of daily riding.
• OT-SP41 cable housing included: Ships with stainless steel inner shift wires and derailleur cable housing pre-installed for straightforward fitting.

Ergonomics & Design

The ST-R3000 hoods feature a slim, anatomically contoured profile that sits comfortably in the hand whether you're sprinting, climbing, or cruising on the hoods. One-finger operation for both shifting and braking is achievable from multiple hand positions, reducing fatigue on long rides.

Compatibility & Fit

Designed for 2x9-speed Shimano Sora R3000 road drivetrains. The left lever (ST-R3000-L) is compatible with the Sora FD-R3000 front derailleur only — it is not compatible with triple (3x) front derailleurs. The right lever (ST-R3000-R) works with Shimano 9-speed road rear derailleurs. Brake actuation is short-pull Super SLR, compatible with Shimano road dual-pivot caliper brakes. Fits standard 23.8 mm and 24.2 mm drop handlebars. Not compatible with hydraulic brakes or MTB components.
