Both derailleurs have also been completely redesigned. They are more compact, lighter, feature a shorter stroke at the lever and deliver more even shifting effort throughout the full range of the cassette. The new drivetrain makes shifting and braking as easy as possible so a rider can concentrate on the ride, especially in tough conditions. The extra brake power results in enhanced control, especially from the hood position.
This, in large, is as a result of the new symmetrical dual pivot design and the new brake shoe compound. Besides increased braking power, modulation is improved by using new polymer-coated BC-R cables.
The Ultegra brakes are also available in a direct mount version for aerodynamics BR-R Ultegra has a rider tuned drivetrain. Rider tuned means that riders can individually choose a large variety of gearing options for all kinds of riding, whether you ride races, Gran Fondo's, sportives or cyclocross.
The Ultegra cassette is going speed. From T all the way to T. The Ultegra crank shares the same 4 arm design as its Dura-Ace counterpart. The 4 arms provide a better power transfer compared to a five arm design, and reduce overall weight. The crank is available in 53x39T, 52x36T, 50x34T and 46x36T. The chain CN with a new surface technology called Sil-tec. Recently debuted in the Dura-Ace chain, Sil-Tec technology adds a low friction surface treatment that runs smoother and lasts longer.
This lightweight wheel has a wide flange hub and an offset rim for high rigidity and power transmission. Compatible in tubular, tube and tubeless. Solidly made but still light, the groupset has stood up to the rigours of testing very well, even when we gave it to Liam to crash in Spain.
Really top-drawer performance. Noticeably better than which was already very good, functionally indistinguishable from Dura-Ace the majority of the time.
Finish is tougher than some Shimano finishes have been in the past, mechs and levers have stood up well to poor conditions. Lighter than the previous Ultegra groupset, is only giving away g or so to the very lightest standard transmission, SRAM Red I usually ride: whatever I'm testing My best bike is: Genesis Equilibrium I've been riding for: years I ride: Every day I would class myself as: Experienced.

Very solid 1x drivetrain and a great price, but 9-speed inevitably lacks refinement and useablity against spendier competition. Log In Register. Support road. Help us to make it better. Shimano Ultegra groupset 9. First Published Mar 23, Top-end performance from Shimano's second-tier groupset: great shifting, fantastic braking. What the road. If you prefer to support your local bike shop you can find a Shimano dealer here. Overall As a whole package, and assuming that you're not going to be fuming over your wheels not working with it, Shimano Ultegra is everything you want from a mechanical performance groupset.
Verdict Top-end performance from Shimano's second-tier groupset: great shifting, fantastic braking. Make and model: Shimano Ultegra groupset.
Shifters The dual control shifters give tactile feedback to the rider that the gear shift has been completed. Derailleurs Both derailleurs have also been completely redesigned.
Drivetrain Ultegra has a rider tuned drivetrain. The new Ultegra series has 10 per cent more braking power that its predecessor. The extra brake power results in enhanced control, especially from the hood position. This, in large, is as a result of the new symmetrical dual pivot design and the new brake shoe compound.
Besides increased braking power, modulation is improved by using new polymer-coated BC-R cables. The Ultegra brakes are also available in a direct mount version for aerodynamics BR-R Ultegra has a rider tuned drivetrain. The Ultegra cassette is going speed. From T all the way to T. The Ultegra crank shares the same 4 arm design as its Dura-Ace counterpart. The 4 arms provide a better power transfer compared to a five arm design, and reduce overall weight.
They do bring some marginal benefits in stiffness and weight saving. The kink at the top, like that of Dura-Ace, creates a better hand position and more room. The front derailleur has also seen a major overhaul, and now mimics the far slimmer, almost skeletal Dura-Ace model. Supposedly, this should now give a much lighter shifting action, and more flexible cable routing options.
The Shimano Ultegra R rear derailleur really drives home the Shadow design of the Dura-Ace rear mech, incorporating the same slant angle and giving slicker, smoother shifting, reducing cable friction as well as keeping the body up and out of harm's way. The medium cage derailleur will now accept an cassette, giving much larger gearing options should you head for the hills.
Other, minimal changes include a now sleeker gap between the arms of the brakes, which should give better, more assured performance. Shimano says it has made the shifting for Di2 more intuitive, which means a distinct separation of the upshift and downshift levers, which addresses a minor scruple we had when we first rode the model. Buttons on top of the hoods now let you remotely switch screens on your Garmin.
Synchro-Shift, recently introduced to Ultegra , is also being continued on the new model, as is multi-shift, this is programmed through the E-Tube app. The real changes here are with the levers and rotors.
