Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8170 12 Spd Road Shifter/Disc Brake Kit - Rear

When developing the Ultegra R8100 series, Shimano took a holistic and 100 % performance-oriented approach, because great speed means great responsibility. Faster than ever before, the 12-speed road groupset scores with unparalleled control and comfort anytime and anywhere – whether in an everyman race, on the hunt for a personal best time or on a companionable ride.

As with the Dura Ace R9200, not only does Hyperglide+ make its way into the Ultegra's components, also its Di2 parts rely on Wireless technology to simplify operation and ensure smooth shifting.

Features

• High performance Ultegra Wireless hydraulic Servo Wave disc brake Di2 STI's give you control, modulation and power with minimal effort in all riding conditions
