Shimano Dura-Ace SW-RS801-T

These satellite shifters, often called 'climbing shifters,' allow you to shift gears while your hands are resting on the tops of your handlebars. They are designed to give you extra control during long climbs or relaxed cruising without needing to reach for your primary brake levers.

The SW-RS801-T shifters are specifically designed for Shimano Di2 electronic shifting systems. You should verify that your specific Di2 junction box or shifter ports have an available connection point before purchasing.

These shifters feature a compact, low-profile design that attaches directly to the tops of your drop handlebars. They are intended to be taped under your handlebar tape for a clean, integrated look that doesn't interfere with your grip.

Yes, the 260mm cable length is standard for mounting these on the tops of most road handlebars. It provides enough slack to route the wire neatly under your bar tape to the connection point without creating excess clutter.

Installation is straightforward, but you will need to remove your existing handlebar tape to route the wires properly. Once the tape is off, you simply plug the shifters into the appropriate Di2 port and re-wrap your bars.
