The Growtac EQUAL Control Lever opens up new possibilities.
Growtac have developed a free control lever (shift/brake lever). These are free and fun levers that are a world apart from conventional shift/brake levers. It allows you to combine parts without any restrictions such as manufacturer, group set, number of speeds, dropper seat post control, and so on.
EQUAL Control Lever is mechanical, not electric, but allows for free combinations. With up to three shift levers and two shift cables, a variety of things can be accomplished.Â

- Internal shifting hubs can also be operatedÂ
- Each derailleur can be operated with either hand; FD can be operated with the right hand and RD with the left hand RD can be operated with both hands: right hand for shifting up and left hand for shifting down (paddle shift mode)Â
- Dropper seat post operation, MTB fork suspension mode switching, etc. are also possible.Â
- Shift levers can be freely combined, and unnecessary levers can be removed.Â
- The internal shifting mechanism is also removable, so it can be used as a lightweight brake leverÂ
There are so many ways to use it! You can use your existing gear shifting parts, make the shifting operation easy to use, realize mixed components, and create a free and enjoyable bicycle.Â
