Rim Brake Dual Control Lever (Wired)
Ultegra ST-R8150
The Ultegra R8150 Rim Brake levers weigh about 295 g for a pair of levers.
They're essentially the same as the previous generation Ultegra levers, except for the fact that they'll work with the 12-speed derailleurs - using the SD300 port type.

Not wireless
Since these 12-speed rim brake shifters are essentially the previous generation shifters, they do not feature wireless shifting. You can only connect them to a Di2 system using EW-SD300 wires.
12-speed rim brake shift levers have two SD300 ports and one satellite shifter (SW-RS801-T / SW-RS801-S / SW-RS801-E) port.
