With Escapa and Shimano, you’ll always have the best components on your bike. The Shimano Ultegra Front Disc Brake Lever Kit brings a new level of control to the world of road cycling with improved modulation and a faster initial braking response. Despite its smaller design, the system is quieter than ever and easier to maintain. The redesigned Shimano Ultegra Front Disc Brake Lever Kit features a completely new ergonomic design, even more precise brake modulation, and wireless electronic shifting. This trifecta lets you focus on the next sprint, the next descent, or your teammate’s next joke.
To the delight of cyclists and mechanics alike, the new ULTEGRA BR-R8170 caliper offers improved modulation, a quieter braking system, and a bleeding process that’s easier than ever.
Shimano’s new ULTEGRA ST-R8170 brake levers deliver improved modulation and control on every ride thanks to Shimano’s proven SERVO WAVE technology. The new Di2 platform, used in both DURA-ACE and ULTEGRA, makes shifting effortless while offering our fastest and most reliable wireless shifting yet. Your time on the bike is precious—let Shimano make it even better.
