Shimano’s XTR Dual Control was one of their strangest ideas — combining braking and shifting into the same lever for mountain bikes. It worked with Rapid Rise derailleurs, which reversed the usual spring direction. Clever on paper, awkward in practice?
In this video, I go through a service on this Scott Genius fitted with XTR Dual Control, including:
Brake bleed and new resin pads
Tyre replacement and setup
Lever adjustment and Rapid Rise indexing
Overall check
I’ll explain how the Dual Control system actually works, what Rapid Rise was meant to improve, and why the whole setup eventually disappeared.
