Shimano RS585 hydro shifters

What are those? I can't find any information except that it comes on the CAADX.

they are a lower end model of shimano hydraulic brake/mech shifting levers. they are supposed to be "105" level. personally i think they look kind of funky compared to the RS685

scroll down about 3/4 of the way for a 3D model.

Weird that they would put that on the caadx and sell it as an ultegra model, but have the SuperX 105/with the ultegra level shifters.

A picture of the said RS585.

And the SuperX 105 with the RS685


Looks like the same thing ?!

i think you are getting the name wrong - the '105' hydro shifter are RS505

some bikes i have seen speed as with them, are photographed with the 'ultegra' rs685 - guess there is a shortage in supply.

here is the 2016 synapse 105 disc with rs505. look a bit funkier that the rs685

Ah ! So It's probably a typo from Cannondale on the CAADX. Thanks for that Synapse pic !
