Product news: The Shimano CUES Polished Silver special edition combines proven performance with timeless aesthetics. The latest CUES product line has now been expanded to include special components for drop bar handlebars. This special edition allows for a unique yet sophisticated bike design – whether with hydraulic or mechanical disc brakes for drop bars, or in combination with existing flat bar components.
Shimano is expanding the CUES Polished Silver special edition with drop-bar components for gravel and everyday road use. Like their flat-bar counterparts, these are designed to impress with reliability, durability, and smooth shifting. The ergonomic design, inspired by Shimano's top-of-the-line road groupsets, promises comfort and perfect handling – regardless of hand size or grip position. The crankset, cassette, and rear derailleur are combined with the new polished hydraulic DUAL CONTROL levers, brake levers, and flat-mount brake calipers – classic looks, modern technology.
CUES standardizes Shimano's mid-range groupsets and relies on interchangeable components, from pulleys to cassettes and chains. This simplifies service and inventory management. With consistent sprocket spacing across all drivetrain variants, the CUES product line is Shimano's most compatible and versatile component lineup—whether in the mountains, on downhill trails, on forest trails, or in the city. Even riders with flat-bar handlebars can give their bikes a unique look with polished CUES components. The CUES SL-U6000-10R shifter can be combined with BL-MT401 or BL-T4000 brake levers and BR-MT410 or BR-T4000 brake calipers.
