The Shimano Tiagra BL-4700 brake lever embodies versatility and performance for flat bar road bikes, fitness bikes, and gravel builds. Designed to integrate seamlessly with SL-4700 shifters, this right mechanical lever offers precise and modular braking control, compatible with a wide range of systems: V-Brake, NEW SUPER SLR road calipers, mechanical road disc brakes, and cantilever brakes.
Braking versatility and extended compatibility
The BL-4700 stands out with its multi-system compatibility, a major asset for flat bar conversions or custom builds. Thanks to its NEW SUPER SLR architecture and the SERVOWAVE mechanism integrated into the lever, it delivers rapid pad-to-rim contact followed by an extended lever stroke for fine power modulation. This dual Shimano technology reduces friction in the cable-lever-caliper assembly, ensuring instant response and exemplary modulation.
