Shimano 105 chainsets are known the world over for their reliability and performance. Having been refined from the previous version the 105 R7100 furthers this reputation. For this edition, Shimano have carefully engineered the R7100 crankset to offer an excellent balance between stiffness, strength, weight, as well as rotational performance. The result is a chainset equally suited to big days riding in the mountains, as it is fast bunch rides. Trickledown Performance Thanks to the benefit of trickle-down technology, the difference in quality between a 105 chainset and the more premium Dura-Ace or Ultegra versions is closer than ever. Now, with the addition of Di2 to the 105 R7150, the decision to purchase anything more expensive is even less justifiable. That is, of course, unless you simply want to spend the money on the flashiest tech around! All The Tech As with any product from the Japanese component giants, the FC-R7100 chainset employs some of the company’s top tech. Shimano’s famed Hollowglide technology means the outer chainring is hollow, to reduce weight but is engineered to do so without diminishing strength. This is the same technology employed on a number of the brand’s cranksets, including the top-tier models: Dura-Ace and Ultegra. Additionally, Hollowtech II technology is used to keep weight to a minimum, while maintaining strength and stiffness. The result is a crankset that won’t leave you bogged down on a climb and ensures maximum power transfer from your legs to forward motion. Again, this is the same technology employed in Shimano’s top-of-the-range models. Whether it’s the perfect chainset for big days out on the saddle or something for racing your local criterium the 105 R7100 is the perfect option, particularly for those slooking at a more affordable price range. It offers smooth shifting, an excellent balance between weight and stiffness, and won’t break the bank. Product Features: The Hollowglide structure reduces weight but maintains strength Crank Arm Lengths: 160, 165, 170, 172.5 and 175mm Gear Combination: 50-34T Q-factor: 148mm Weight: 765.6g (50T, 172.5)

The Shimano 105 Di2 RD-R7150 rear derailleur is quite possibly the biggest advancement in 105 technology since the range was introduced. In its mechanical form, 105 offered excellent shifting performance; the introduction of electronic gear changing offers even quicker and smoother shifting than ever. With a 105 Di2 rear derailleur at your disposal, you’ll have access to lightning-quick, effortless gear changes at the click of a button. What Big Teeth You Have: The 105 R7150 rear derailleur comes with a greater range of gear capacity. Coming as 12-speed and capable of handling a 36T cassette, it’s the perfect rear mech for tackling those big days out on the bike. Pair it with a compact chainset up front and there’ll be very few mountains you won’t be able to tackle. Such a broad range of gears will have you confidently tackling steep climbs, taking on bikepacking adventures, or getting stuck into fast bunch rides. From The Shadow: Similarly to Shimano’s top-tier lines—Dura-Ace and Ultegra—and drawing on the company’s mountain bike ranges, the 105 Di2 rear derailleur uses the “shadow” design. This design is intended to increase stability when shifting on rough roads and under load. With such technology you can be confident when changing gears on those steep inclines and when caught out in a race. What’s more, the shape created from this design is sleek and compact, reducing the risk of damage in the event of crash and increasing your aerodynamic advantage. Wireless Indicators: Though the 105 Di2 rear derailleur is compact in its design, it’s still chocked full of technological wizardry. It includes an integrated wireless unit that, in conjunction with the shifters, offers seamless gear changes free of cables. Handily, the derailleur features LED status indicators to let you know: battery status, when the unit is paired, and when it is in adjustment mode. Product Features: 12-speed Di2, electronic gear changes LED Status Indicator, to signal battery status, pairing, adjust mode Weight: 302g Max low gear: 36T Max high gear: 11T
The introduction of Di2 to Shimano’s 105 front derailleur represents a dramatic leap forwards for the Japanese brand’s most popular groupset. Even in its mechanical form, a 105 front mech offered smooth, precise gear shifts; the addition of Di2 to this already exceptional groupset, means your gear changes will be quicker and more reliable than ever. Electronic Shifting For The Masses: Di2 is Shimano’s electronic gear shifting system but until now it had only been available on the Japanese component maker’s top-tier models. In introducing Di2 to the 105 range, the smooth, crisp feel of electronic gear changes are now available to a whole bunch of new cyclists. It’s no secret that Dura-Ace and, even, Ultegra are ultra-premium groupsets, only obtainable by pros and the financially well-endowed. However, no longer is electronic shifting available only to the elite. A 105 Di2 front derailleur has made electronic gear changing more affordable than ever. Over the years, Shimano have continued to review the shape and style of their electronic front derailleurs. The R7150 front mech draws on inspiration from the well-established models. It is sleek and subtle, and will easily enhance any bike it adorns. Synchronized Shifting: The 105 Di2 front derailleur is compatible with Shimano’s Synchronized Shift system. Through this system you can set up your shifting to be full synchronized, semi-synchronized, or manual. In fully synchronized mode if you shift the rear derailleur, the front derailleur can change should it no longer offer an optimum chain line. In semi-synchronized mode, the rear derailleur will automatically adjust when the front mech is changed. In manual mode, you’ll be free to choose when the derailleurs shift. What’s more, the R7150, without any cables to thread, is simple to install and easy to set up. Once you’re up and running with your 105 Di2 system, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without electronic gear changes. Product Features: Programmed chain guide control Shimano Synchronized Shift Top Gear Teeth Capacity: 50-52T Braze-On Weight: 142g (with bolt washer)
The R7100 Shimano 12-speed cassette represents the first time 12-speed cassettes have been brought to the Japanese component maker’s 105 groupset; the groupset favored by recreational cyclists around the world. Better Shifting, More Performance: The previous R7000 model offered excellent shifting, even under load. The R7100 version has been refined further and boasts improved efficiency, quicker and smoother shifts. Thanks to trickle-down technology and Shimano using techniques honed in their top-of-the-range models, the products in the 105 range now perform comparably to the more expensive Dura-Ace and Ultegra lines. All that separates the ranges is the materials used, which add weight. But it’s the less expensive materials that enable the brand to the R7100 cassette at a more affordable price. Though the materials may be less expensive, this is not to say they are poor quality. Typically, Shimano will use heavier, harder wearing materials for the 105 range, when compared to the top-tier models. What you can expect is a cassette that is built to withstand and perform in the elements. How Many Teeth?: Available as 12-speed, in a ratio of 11-34T, this cassette is perfect for tackling those big days on the bike. Paired with a compact chainset up front, even the steepest of gradients should be conquerable. With an extra gear to play with, from the previous model, you won’t sacrifice a sprocket further down the block either; so you’ll have no problem keeping up in your fast bunch rides. With improved shifting when under load, you’ll also get a high-quality gear changes when changing on steep grades or if you get caught out for a sprint. Product Features 12-speed Optimal efficiency and rider effort control Faster, smoother shifts under maximum pedaling force Compatible with new 12-speed and road 11-speed freehub body Tooth Combination: 11-12-13-14-15-17-19-21-24-27-30-34 Weight: 361g
The Shimano 105 R7150 Di2 groupset is perhaps—without exaggeration—the most hotly anticipated groupset of the century. Even in mechanical form, the 105 series is widely regarded as one of the most reliable and affordable performance groupsets, with the introduction of electronic the gap between the brand’s mid-tier range and its top-tier is now closer than ever. A Battery For The Ages: The introduction of wireless shifting might leave you feeling concerned you’ll be forever charging batteries and living in perpetual fear you’ll be stranded in you biggest gear miles from anywhere. But with 105 Di2, power is supplied via two CR1632 coin cell batteries in the shifters, which should provide over three years of life. With such a range, even the heaviest of users shouldn’t find themselves in a constant state of charging and re-charging batteries. Semi-wireless Setup: 105 R7150 uses the same semi-wireless, 12-speed shifting setup as the top-tier models. The proprietary semi-wireless system means there is no longer any need from wires to the shifters to the derailleurs. Since there’s no need for wires and cables, the cockpit of a bike set up with 105 Di2 is cleaner and less cluttered than ever. Shift Into Gear: Of course with the change to electronic gearing, one of the most significant changes to the groupset is in the shifters themselves; the all-new 105 ST-R7170 levers now operate in much the same way as the top-of-the-line shifters. Shifting gear couldn’t be simpler: click a button on the shifter and almost instantly you’ll hear the derailleur whir into life. Drawing on Shimano’s years of experience in electronic shifting, you can expect smooth gear changes at the touch of a button. Without the need to accommodate levers, wires, or ports, the shape of the R7150’s levers has been brought more in line with the sleeker Ultegra and Dura-Ace shifters. The new, slimmed down, STI levers are also more ergonomically shaped, thanks to the raised hood peak and offer more opportunity to refine the reach. The Brains Of The Operation: Another significant change to previous mechanical setup is in the front and rear derailleurs. The rear derailleur is an integrated, 12-speed wireless unit, which will comfortably accommodate an 11–36T cassette. Such a wide range of gears is perfect for those big climbing days, without spinning out when the road tips back down or when you’re racing along in fast bunch rides. The rear mech uses Shimano’s Shadow technology is incorporated to reduce the risk of the derailleur hitting the chainstay in rough-riding conditions, and to provide smoother, quieter performance. The 105 Di2 front derailleur offers the smooth shifting you’d expect from the Japanese component makers. It can be programmed to be manual, or full or semi-synchronised, accommodating a 50T or 52T chainring. Crank It Up: Shimano continue to deploy their famed Hollowtech II technology in the R7100 crankset, which is now 2x12-speed. This is the same technology they have employed in the 105 range for years, and features also in the company’s premium lines. The result is a sturdy crankset, that is stiff and relatively light. Incorporated also is Hollowglide technology, which offers more precise and efficient power transfer than ever before. Shimano have been able to reduce the weight of the crankset but maintain stiffness, strength, and performance. For 105 Di2, cranksets are available as a compact (50-34 tooth) and in crank-arm lengths of 170, 172.5 and 175mm Stopping Performance: The 105 hydraulic disc brakes of the previous iteration were highly capable; for the latest ST-R7170, Shimano have further improved braking performance. The lever-action required for braking is now lighter and smoother, offering a greater area for braking control. For 105 Di2, the clearance for pads has been increased by 10%, reducing braking noise. Overall, rain or shine, you can be assured of high-performance stopping power.
