Discover Shimano Di2 shifting technology atEscapa. TheShimano Ultegra Di2 Front Disc Brake Kit, featuring wireless technology with a transmission protocol developed exclusively for this purpose, guarantees the fastest shifting operations ever achieved in the cycling industry. With the push of a button, gears engage quickly and reliably. The lever’s precise pressure point ensures that shifting is triggered only when the rider intentionally initiates it.
The completely redesigned ULTEGRA BR-R8170 brake caliper brings a new level of control to the world of road bikes, with optimized modulation and unprecedented braking power. The new design minimizes brake vibration. Furthermore, despite its compact size, this system is quieter and easier to maintain than ever before.
With the Ultegra 8100 series components, Shimano offers you excellent value for the money. The Japanese manufacturer’s years of experience are evident in every detail. Whether it’s functionality, durability, or weight, top performance is achieved across the board.
Shimano is also revolutionizing Di2 components with this top-tier groupset. From now on, shifting commands are transmitted wirelessly.
In addition, the wireless chip stands out for its low power consumption. The CR1632 button cell battery has a lifespan of over 1.5 years.
This system can be fully customized using the Shimano E-Tube app. Furthermore, the shifting logic adapts to the rider’s preferences. Among other things, you can configure the shifting speed, select either full or semi-synchronous shifting modes, and assign specific functions to the program buttons on the shifter.
When braking, you have optimal control over your bike at all times thanks to SERVO WAVE technology. This provides unbeatable control and sufficient braking power.
But it’s not just the internal features that impress. Ergonomics have also been significantly improved. The recessed grip is better contoured, and the rounded brake levers stay securely under your fingers even on long descents. Additionally, the grip width can be individually adjusted.
