Fast Di2 Shifting from the Drops
The SW-RS801-S switches are specifically designed to give riders access to gear changes while maintaining an aerodynamic and powerful position in the drops.
One button can be configured to shift in one direction and the other in the opposite direction, allowing quick rear derailleur control without needing to move your hands back to the main shift levers.
This makes them particularly useful for sprinting, racing and fast road riding where maintaining hand position and momentum matters.
Light-Touch Electronic Operation
Shimano Di2 requires only a light tactile press to initiate a gear change, making shifting fast and effortless. The electronic system also avoids the friction, cable stretch and contamination associated with traditional mechanical gear cables, helping deliver reliable and repeatable shifting performance.
Compact Sprinter Switch Design
The compact single-button design integrates neatly with drop handlebars, keeping the cockpit uncluttered while providing an additional shift point exactly where you need it. The tactile button is easy to operate even when wearing gloves or riding in colder conditions.
SD300 E-Tube Connection
Each Shimano SW-RS801-S switch is supplied with an integrated 100mm SD300-series E-Tube electrical cable for connection to compatible Shimano Di2 components. The slim SD300 wiring helps create a clean installation while providing the reliable digital communication required by Shimano’s latest-generation Di2 systems.
Compatible with Shimano ST-R9270
The SW-RS801-S remote switches can be used with compatible Shimano ST-R9270 Dura-Ace Di2 STI shift/brake levers, giving riders additional shifting control from the drops.
Always check full system compatibility before installation.
