Shimano’s 105 R7000 series might be the brand’s entry point to performance cycling, but, thanks to trickle-down technology from the premium ranges of Dura-Ace and Ultegra, it certainly isn’t sub-standard. Despite the lower price tag for these 105 shifters, you can still be assured of excellent stopping power and smooth gear changes. Whether it’s for the daily commute or your local road race, you’ll get reliable shifting performance every time. Shift Into Gear For this edition, the Japanese component makers have re-vamped the internal shifting unit to give smoother shifting than ever. The Dual Control Levers offers intuitive and quick shifting up/down the cassette, as well as excellent braking performance. Equally, changing between rings in the front is light, especially when paired with Shimano’s FD-R7000 front derailleur. So whether you’re changing-up gears for the decisive, race-winning sprint; or slamming on the brakes while descending Alpine climbs look no further. Braking Excellence As with all Shimano products, these are chocked full proprietary technology. Stopping power has been boosted for the R7000 range of shifters, thanks to SLR-EV. SLR-EV is a short-arm brake system, which employs two bearings and roller to offer increased efficiency, modulation, and stopping power. Three things that you can’t really get enough of when it comes to bike shifters. Combined with the BC-9000 brake cable and Shimano claims it will deliver 36% more braking power than the previous model. Ergonomics In Mind The shape of the shifters has been re-vamped and brought into line with the slimmer, more streamlined Ultegra R8000 series. Further attention has been paid to the ergonomics by increasing the reach adjustment to 15mm, offering more range for those with smaller hands. This attention to ergonomics should offer greater comfort on those longer rides. Features: Mechanical braking system, dual control lever Redesigned internal shifting unit Greater reach adjust range Easier access to inner shift cable
RX010 clincher disc road wheel, offering all the technology of Shimano wheels at an economical price 24 mm high profile aluminium rim for improved aero dynamics Easy to use Centre-Lock rotor mount for use with disc brakes 28 stainless steel bladed straight pull spokes with a 2-cross lacing pattern improve lateral and torsional (power transmission) rigidity The hub uses angular contact bearings designed to cradle the balls giving both radial and lateral support for superior strength and durability in real world riding conditions. They also offer precision bearing adjustment and easy maintenance Labyrinth and contact sealing - low-friction seals effectively shut out water, mud and dirt without affecting rotational smoothness 9, 10 and 11-speed compatible 700C Clincher rim only Recommended tyre width 25-38C Supplied with Q/R skewer
Features: E-tube SEIS Y-split electric wire (3 connectors) Cable lengths 250 mm / 350 mm / 50 mm Reliable and secure water resistant connectors
Lightweight HollowTech II 105 11-speed chainset Innovative HollowTech forged and anodised aluminium crank arms utilise a hollow design that minimises flex and keeps the weight low The chainring teeth have been developed to work in conjunction with HG-X 11-speed chains for increased contact to provide greater efficiency and improved power transfer HollowTech II allows the bottom bracket bearings to be spaced wider apart, enabling the use of larger bearings and an increased axle diameter Can be used with Shimano external or press-fit bottom brackets The system allows for easier installation, adjustment, and maintenance Lightweight anodised SG-X aluminium chainrings for smooth and precise shifting
The removal of traditional mechanical cables in favour of electrical wires not only eliminates poor shifting caused by contaminates, corrosion and stretching, but provides effortless gear shifts. This junction A is required to connect the shifters via E-tube wires to the down tube junction wire For either specific frame mount or handlebar end plug mount 2-port design Battery level indicator feature E-tube EW-SD50 wires not included Additional charging point when using internal battery Gear index setup switch to allow fine tuning via shifter buttons Reliable and secure water resistant connectors
With Di2 technology shifting is easy and precise - just a light touch, as soft as a mouse click, is sufficient for the front or rear derailleur to instantaneously select the correct gear The removal of traditional mechanical cables in favour of electrical wires eliminates poor shifting caused by contaminates, corrosion and stretching, and also provides effortless gear shifts Full and semi synchronized shifting programable, Synchro shift compatible meaning a single shifter can control both front and rear shifting which can be fully custom tuned to your riding preferences. Semi synchronized shifting means when a front shift is made the rear mech will automatically correct to the appropriate ratio Simply pressing tactile buttons allows effortless and comfortable shifting even when your hands are cold Drop bar STI with shift buttons located in a near identical place to the positions you'd assume shifting using a mechanical Shimano STI Programmable function of top button remote switch for third party cycle computers Brake lever pivot is positioned to be used with super SLR brake callipers, increase power providing excellent ergonomics when riding on the hoods Finely tuneable reach adjusters for the levers enable custom fitment for all hands Levers are supplied without electrical cables, as these need to be ordered separately to suit For use with E-tube electric cables (not included)
