Levers for DA 9000 Calipers

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Levers for DA 9000 Calipers

This ;"new" stuff is kind of foreign to me. I would like to use DA 9000 brakes on an upcoming build. I'm not a fan of brifters so I am going with DA 9 speed DT Shifters, What levers would play well with the DA 9000 Brakes. I am not really up on pull ratos and all that. Thanks.

Meh. There's a slight difference in optimum cable pull for these compared to previous calipers IIRC, but it doesn't amount to much.

My front brake is one of these, works great off a Red lever.

+1. Many people use them on TT bikes, with levers that aren't specificly designed for them.

I have a DT project in the back burner also. Plan to use a mix of DA parts. I am using DA 7970 di2 brake levers for the build.

I have used SRAM carbon brake levers with R8000 calipers which would be functionally the same as the Dura Ace calipers. I am currently using these levers with my own bar end shifter bike. I am using Velo Orange mid reach brakes on a Gunnar Sport frame. Everything works perfectly. Including a photo so you can see the set up.
