Despite its smaller, lighter design, the Dura-Ace FD-R9250 brings the fastest front shifting on the market. The fastest just got faster thanks to the Dura-Ace FD-R9250. Tipping the scales under 100 grams, the new design shifts 45% quicker than Shimano's FD-R9150, already the fastest on the market. And the frontal area of the FD-R9250 is also reduced to decrease aerodynamic drag. Shimano Di2 Electronic Drivetrain Performance Thanks to its lightning-fast, accurate, and reliable shifting performance, Di2 puts riders in complete control and ensures a seamless interface between the cyclist and bike like never before.

Direct Mount Compatible Rear wheels are easier to remove with a mounting option for SHIMANO SHADOW RD and SHIMANO SHADOW RD+. The direct mount feature is designed to suit a wide range of contemporary frames with large-section chainstays, in particular, mountain bikes with thru-axle dropouts. Shimano Shadow Low-Profile Rear Derailleur The mechanism rear derailleur, Shimano Shadow RD, is intended for more aggressive riding. Its super low profile design carries many benefits. Because of its low profile and single tension construction, the derailleur does not hit the chain stay in rough riding conditions. The result is smooth and silent performance.
The all-rounder of the new Dura-Ace wheel lineup, the C50 is both lighter than the previous C40 model and nearly as aerodynamic as the previous C60. It's a wheelset at home in a wide range of conditions. From time trials to criteriums, on rolling terrain or attempting a personal best, the new C50 is the ideal wheel for spirited road riding. The perfect blend of low weight and aerodynamic performance, the all-new Dura-Ace C50 features an updated all-carbon tubeless rim and new hub design that drops weight while enhancing rigidity. Centre-Lock Disc Rotor Mount The Centre Lock system makes an easy rotor installation possible with a spline mount and a lock ring. The lock ring mounting system reduces the total working hours by shortening the amount of time of both installation and de-installation. In addition, the secure fixing by the spline mount enhances precision and rigidity while improving braking efficiency. D2 Aerodynamic Rim Profile Aerodynamic performance is affected by wind direction. To create the D2 rim, Shimano engineers considered both frontal and crosswinds, aiming to achieve optimal performance in real-world riding conditions. Extensive prototype testing, in the wind tunnel and on the road, proved that a wide rim shape with a deep tire bed performs best across a wide range of conditions. At yaw angles ranging from 0 to 15 degrees, the Shimano D2 rim profile reduces air drag better than others aero shape rims. This rim design also boosts lateral wheel stiffness and offers improved vertical compliance for increased control, comfort and durability on the road. Rear Wheel OPTBAL Spoke System The OPTBAL rear wheel spoke system features 21 spokes—14 on the drive side and 7 on the non-drive side. Cassette spacing in today’s wheels produces unbalanced tension in traditional 1:1 spoke systems. This unbalance is intensified with the 11-speed cassette, producing nearly double the tension on the drive side spokes. Generally, high and low tension spokes have respectively tendency toward breaking down and coming loose spoke nipples. Unbalanced tension affects durability and strength. The OPTBAL design rebalances spoke tension, enhancing wheel rigidity and strength for a more durable wheel. Shimano E-Thru Axle System The tool-less type thru-axle skewer system optimizes rigidity and weight balance and enables easy operation with a reliable internal cam mechanism. The 15 mm thru-axle system is 15% stiffer torsionally and 25% stiffer in transverse shear than a traditional 9 mm quick release front axle system. High rigidity is secured while keeping the optimum weight balance. The E-Thru axle hub system minimizes the distortion of suspension while maintaining lightweight for riding around sharp corners at high speed.
More compact and faster than ever, the ULTEGRA R8150 front derailleur performs digitally precise front shifts under any circumstances. Combining Shimano's new Di2 platform and the road incarnation of HYPERGLIDE+, the ULTEGRA R8150 front derailleur shifts between chainrings with the fastest, most seamless action on the market.

Top Performance Shimano SLR-EV Braking Efficiency SLR-EV is Shimano's SLR braking technology with a dual symmetric pivot brake caliper. The short-arm brake design employs two bearings and a roller to realize greater efficiency in the pivot area and deliver superior modulation and power for braking. Together with the BC-9000 brake cable, the latest calipers deliver 36% more braking power than Shimano's previous brake model.
These mountain bike (MTB) pedals are feature-packed with performance-enhancing technologies that are specially tailored for aggressive DH riding. Shimano has equipped these with a non-pop-up aluminium pedal body for simplicity and durability. Its pedal body also protects the binding mechanism against impacts, while its thin profile lowers stack height and improves obstacle clearance. Thanks to its wide contact area, you'll benefit from enhanced stability when paired with Shimano AM series shoes. With the option to ride clipped in, these pedals also feature four height-adjustable pins per side for improved grip when not clipped-in. Coming complete with adjustable entry and release tension settings, these are a great choice of upgrade for reliable pedalling performance on your downhill mountain bike. Aggressive DH Riding SPD Pedals Clip into the Saint M820 series SPD pedal's robust retention claws for serious downhill riding. Improved axle durability raises these thin and tough pedals to a new level. Experience even better bike control by pairing with Shimano GR series shoes (available separately). Shimano Pedalling Dynamics (SPD) SPD is a system that performs whether you’re on or off the bike. It makes pedalling more efficient with a wide variety of shoe and pedal styles and the recessed cleat makes walking more comfortable. You can pedal with greater efficiency, stability and comfort with the SPD system. Shimano invented SPD to meet the needs of a growing frontier lifestyle called MTB. By eliminating toe-clips and integrating the pedal and outsole into a single, unified power transfer system, Shimano changed the industry; not only boosting power to the pedal, but also the rider’s control over increasingly adventurous styles of riding. Technologies: - Improved axle durability (vs. PD-M820). - Wide contact area enhances stability when paired with Shimano AM series shoes. - Thin pedal body lowers stack height and improves obstacle clearance. - Four height-adjustable pins per side for improved grip when not clipped-in. - Non-pop-up alloy pedal body for simplicity and durability. - Slim and durable chromoly (CrMo) Steel spindle with 8mm hex wrench mount. - Pedal body protects binding mechanism against impacts. - Robust retention claws provide smooth engagement and release. - Adjustable entry and release tension settings.
