Technology of SLR

SLR, Shimano Linear Response is the basic development concept behind all Shimano brake systems. From road racing machines and downhill monster bikes to commuter and city bikes, all Shimano brake systems are designed to place control of the bicycle in the hands of the rider.

Confidence, Control, Consistency
These are the result of braking systems developed under the concept of SLR.

• Control – Improved bicycle performance through accurate speed and traction control
• Consistency – Predictable performance in varied conditions
• Confidence – The mental advantage over speed born of reliable control

These three elements are not separated, but they are built upon each other. Control is the result of the brake system based on linear theory. Consistent performance is achieved when SLR is combined with Shimano performance and reliability. Confidence is the positive mental attitude provided by consistent control of your machine.

Building your Confidence through Control and Consistency, that’s the philosophy of SLR.
