Ready for action, this fantastic model features a rock-solid alloy construction which makes it more than capable of handling all the abuse that comes with a long day in the saddle. Kitted out with some of the finest Shimano technologies around and its compatibility with Di2 groupsets makes this an ideal choice of upgrade for precise braking and smooth shifts. Technologies: SLR-EV: SLR-EV is SLR 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. And we offer 2 axle symmetric brake caliper and fork mount and chain stay mount type (BR-R9100/6810/5810). 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 probably more critical to the higher standard performance than the added gearing. The shift internals borrow the robustness from our MTB technology and are 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. E-Tube: The E-TUBE platform's “Plug & play” and D-FLY wireless connections make it easier than ever to check the system's status, and apply customized settings to DI2 and SHIMANO STEPS components with a PC, tablet or smart phone. Wirelessly customize functions like SHIMANO SYNCHRONIZED SHIFT over Bluetooth® while out on a ride. Automatically checks for firmware updates on each startup to ensure all components are running the latest version. PC, smartphone and tablet applications can help you quickly diagnose errors and simplify the repair process. Beautiful visualisation of your real-time SHIMANO STEPS riding data on your smartphone. Advanced all-weather design resists rusting, stretching, and freezing.

Di2 electronic drivetrains use a powerful long-life 7.4V Li-Ion battery, this charger that will keep your Di2 system shifting and keep it in top condition and ready for shifting.
Excellent sealing and reliability have been proven through repeated field tests in various riding conditions, including extreme temperatures, rain, mud, and cobble stone roads. Using a hard wired battery system which is both light weight and accurate compared to current wireless technology (as a wireless system would require 4 batteries: one for the RD, one for the FD, and one for each shift lever). The use of a single small and discreet battery is light weight, efficient and creates a robust and reliable system. One charge can give between 1000 and 2000 kilometre range depending on conditions and front mech operation (as this is the main power drain).
This lightweight Shimano Ultegra Freehub body offers a fast engagement and makes a perfect replacement part for a wide range of Shimano rear road bike hubs.
Designed to protect your externally routed Shimano Di2 cables.
With a shallow-depth aero profile and lively acceleration, the Ultegra R8170 C36 wheelset is a climber's delight that delivers performance every road rider will appreciate. With the speed and efficiency of tubeless tyres, the everyday performance of a shallow, aero profile carbon rim, and the convenience of 11 and 12-speed compatibility, the new Ultegra R8170 C36 wheelset is an upgrade for any road bike. 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 tyre 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. 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. 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.
Designed for the highest speed environments and modern tyre widths, the Ultegra C60 wheelset shares its all-carbon rim profile with Dura-Ace but employs a hub that is compatible with both 11 and 12-speed cassettes. For situations where aerodynamics is the priority, the new Ultegra R8170 C60 wheelset features an all-carbon, 21 mm internal, tubeless compatible rim and a super-fast cup and cone bearing hub that is compatible with both 11 and 12-speed cassettes. 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.
