Technologies: Shimano Index System: Every Shimano equipped multi-gear bicycle includes Shimano S.I.S - Shimano Indexed Shifting. It's the technology behind that "click" you hear and feel every time you shift through your gears. That "click" captures the light, precise, and consistent shifting bikes equipped with Shimano deliver. It's the sound of perfect gear changes, of levers directing derailleurs in harmony and the feeling that resonates into your hand, letting you know that your commands are being answered. Reach Adjust: Its brake lever is equipped with a reach adjust mechanism. The distance from handlebar grip to lever can be adjusted to suit any hand size, type of riding and individual rider preferences. Ice Technologies: The fade, which can occur to disc brake rotor and pad when braking on a long downhill ride has a negative impact on the braking performance. Shimano has adopted Ice Technologies disc brake rotor's and Ice Technologies pad's to realise the cooling technology for consistent performance. The clad disc brake rotor blade, which has a 3 layer-sandwich structure of stainless steel, aluminium and stainless steel, provides better radiation performance achieving from 400˚C to 300˚C surface temperature. Also, the radiation fin has been adopted for the pad. Moreover, the clad disc brake rotor blade and the radiator fin provide long pad life, less noise, less fade and lightweight. One Way Bleeding: One Way Bleeding was developed for quick and easy prevention of air in our hydraulic system. We have streamlined the oil route throughout the system to prevent air bubbles from being captured in the system. One way oil routing plus a funnel tool with mineral oil provides an easy and clean bleeding system. Click here to view the Shimano Brake Reference Guide.

This lightweight model is a perfect solution for riders who want to take advance of some of the best Shimano technologies at an affordable price. Technologies: Dual-Pivot Caliper: A lightweight, compact and durable braking system. Dual-pivot caliper brakes have made considerable progress in the reduction of tolerance and deflection as well as in durability. They have achieved a firm and instantaneous braking response while assuring longer service life. Moreover, the brake pads have improved the durability of 100% to help enjoy high-response braking over longer periods. New Super SLR: SLR stands for Shimano Linear Response. The New Super SLR design makes use of a friction-reducing mechanism in the caliper, lever and cable that improve response and modulation. Also, for the lever, the Servo Wave mechanism is adapted to provide quick contact of your shoe to the rim and longer stroke from the initial braking effect for better control. SLR is the essential factor in the Shimano dual-pivot caliper that delivers more braking power than conventional side-pulls. Click here to view the Shimano Brake Reference Guide.

Road riding has never been this much fun. That's because the redesigned Ultegra ST-R8170 Dual Control Levers have all-new ergonomics, even more precise brake modulation, and wireless electronic shifting. This trifecta lets you focus on the next sprint, the next descent, or the next joke from your riding partner. Shimano's new Ultegra ST-R8170 brake levers bring enhanced modulation and control to every ride by employing Shimano's proven SERVO WAVE technology. The all-new Di2 platform, used on both Dura-Ace and Ultegra, untethers the shifters while delivering the world's fastest, most reliable wireless shifting. Your time on the bike is precious, let Shimano make it even better. Servo Wave Precise Braking Control When you pull a Servo Wave brake lever, initial pad travel is fast, so little lever movement is needed to bring the pads into contact with the rotor. The power multiplication factor then increases rapidly at the pad-to-rim contact so more of the lever stroke is used to apply greater braking power with improved control. Shimano DCL Dual Control Lever DCL stands for Dual Control Lever. It has brake and shifting functions in the system and enables easy operation. Ergonomic innovation is as critical to higher standard performance as the added gearing. The shift internals borrows the robustness from Shimano's MTB technology and is so smooth and effortless that one finger shifts front and rear are possible. Indeed, shifting is the ultimate act of Shimano Total Integration and simply has to be experienced to be understood.

As a result, the Shimano XT M8100 Disc Brake is an excellent choice of upgrade for riders who want a more customised braking feel as they blast across the mountain bike trails. Technologies: Servo Wave Action: When you pull a Servowave brake lever, initial pad travel is fast, so little lever movement is needed to bring the pads into contact with the rotor. The power multiplication factor then increases rapidly at the pad-to-rim contact so more of the lever stroke is used to apply greater braking power with improved control. Reach Adjust: Brake lever is equipped with a reach adjust mechanism. The distance from the handlebar grip to lever can be adjusted to suit any hand size, type of riding and individual rider preferences. Free Stroke: The distance from the initial lever position to pad contact point can be adjusted to suit any hand size, type of riding and individual rider preferences.

Four Piston: Disc brake system with the dual diameter opposed-piston caliper design has differently sized pistons in front and in the rear. The system adopts a power transfer system in which the disc brake rotor is pressed by the smaller sized piston at the entrance of the disc brake rotor intake and also by the more powerful larger sized piston at the back. This prevents the wobbling motion of the disc brake rotor and reduces noises significantly. The 4-piston caliper also allows a wider contact area for the disc brake rotor while keeping the size compact, and the efficient location of pads is adjusted as necessary to stabilise the pressure. In combination use with the Servowave lever it provides an incredible 50% more stopping power than the previous model. The advanced Saint/Zee disc brake system, which adjusts to accommodate the different braking styles of different riders, offers stable braking power and excellent modulation.
