Shimano road/MTB shifter/derailleur compatibility was great from 7-speed 105/Ultegra/MTB groups and 9-speed Dura Ace right up until 10-speed MTB and 11-speed everything.
Yep! The DR pictured above I am sure works great with the matching trigger shifter! I actually tried but it didn't fit over my drop bars well and was too close to my brake levers. Wound up sending it back.
