Overview

The Gravity Claris R2000 Shifter Set is a complete handlebar and shifting assembly designed for road and gravel bike builds. At its core are Shimano Claris R2000 dual-control levers providing 2x8 speed shifting — a proven entry-level groupset known for dependable performance and easy maintenance. The set also includes Tektro RL720 cross top levers, which mount on the flat portion of the handlebars to give riders a secondary braking position. This is particularly useful for gravel riding, commuting, or any situation where you spend time riding with your hands on the tops rather than in the drops.

What distinguishes this product from buying components individually is the pre-assembled nature of the package. The shifters and cross top levers come already mounted on 31.8mm alloy handlebars, with all shifter and brake cables routed and the bars wrapped in black cork tape. This means you can install the entire cockpit assembly onto a compatible stem and connect the cables to your derailleurs and brakes without the time-consuming process of building up handlebars from scratch. For bike builders, touring cyclists assembling a new rig, or anyone replacing a damaged cockpit, this ready-to-install approach eliminates multiple steps and potential compatibility headaches.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Arrives fully pre-assembled with shifters, levers, cables, and bar tape installed, saving significant setup time
  • Shimano Claris R2000 shifters provide reliable and precise 2x8 shifting at an accessible price point
  • Tektro RL720 cross top levers add convenient braking positions for upright riding on gravel or in traffic
  • 31.8mm alloy handlebars and all cables included make this a complete cockpit replacement in one purchase

👎 Cons

  • The Claris R2000 is Shimano's entry-level road groupset, so shifting feel and weight are noticeably below mid-range components
  • Handlebar width and drop dimensions are not specified, which may not suit all rider preferences or body proportions
  • Pre-wrapped bar tape limits the ability to choose your own tape material, thickness, or color
  • Only compatible with 2x8 drivetrains, requiring matching 8-speed cassette and crankset components on your bike
