Unlike Dura-Ace, there is no integrated powermeter version of the R8000 crankset available.Since I started testing the new groupset, many have also asked me whether it is as good as Dura-Ace 9000 and I’d have to say, yes, pretty much.Of course such assessments are purely personal, but I prefer this new shape over the very slightly more rounded old profile — the flat upper surface sits nicely in your palm and seems to transition a bit more smoothly from the bars to the hoods.However, much to my chagrin there’s still no sign of a clutch equipped — or Shadow Plus as Shimano calls it — rear derailleur that is directly compatible with Shimano’s road shifters. There’s no doubt that this groupset is the benchmark of its price point.Thankfully the fix is a relatively cheap and easy one: replace your cables every 12 months, as is generally good to do, and you’ll never experience this issue. Get it … *170mm, 50-34T, **11-28T cassettes, ***Excludes bottom bracket and cablesThe front derailleur sees the biggest change. The price difference between the two is stark: at suggested retail, you’re looking at US$2,219 / AU$2,590 for Dura-Ace R9100, versus US$1,094 / AU$1,499 for Ultegra R8000. Eligible for Free Shipping. Established in 1921 when the first cycle freewheel was forged. As road bike component, the stress-free operation is one of the most important feature to lead all day riding comfort with braking and shifting. While they suffer from more friction when new, the cheaper stainless steel cables are sure to last longer.All weights are in grams.
This extra mass results in an ever-so-slightly stiffer feel at the lever, and on the road, it rewards you with even more secure braking.

Free shipping For my larger phalanges, this resulted in a pleasingly light feel at the lever.Since it’s what everyone looks at first on a bike (don’t pretend you don’t), we’ll start with the rear derailleur.Overall, shifting on the new derailleur feels improved rather than drastically different — the feel at the lever is slightly lighter and overall more satisfying, with an absolutely delightful metallic ‘cla-chunk’ as the chain climbs the cassette.Setup obviously plays a big role in braking performance, but I think there’s some truth in Shimano’s claim that it has “modified the braking curve to be more linear” in a bid to make braking more predictable — during a hard stop, there’s a pleasing level of ‘squidge’ at the lever, allowing you to really control the amount of power and avoid locking up the wheel.You could argue that this makes it slightly easier to inadvertently hit the paddle and drop a gear, but I didn’t find this to be the case.Don't miss out on MBUK – get your next 3 issues for just £5Not unsurprisingly, deals on the new Ultegra groupset have begun to pop up already, with Chain Reaction Cycles appearing to be the cheapest so far.9000-series braking was considered benchmark and I think Ultegra R8000 exceeds it in terms of power and modulation. Infused with state-of-the-art technology, the Shimano Ultegra R8000 11-Speed Groupset is superbly stiff, light, and responsive. This thin metal plate sits between each of the brake arms, bridging the gap between the pivots and is said to “reduce deformation and improve braking efficiency.”You can still get a reasonably good hold on this, but I can foresee it being a little more tricky to shift should anything become seized or stiff.If you like to throw caution to the wind and cross-chain like it ain’t no thang, you’ll be pleased to hear that the little soft plastic patch on the inside of the inner plate is still there — so mashers, keep on mashing, Shimano’s got your back.Sacrificing my street cred in the good name of bicycle journalism, I cross-chained my way up many a climb during the test period and the groupset handled this shocking behaviour without complaint. Despite riding some questionable terrain, I never suffered a dropped chain.As expected, the assembly process is well considered, but derailleur setup is a little trickier, or at least different, than generations past. This arrangement is said to stiffen up the connection between the derailleur and the frame, improving shifting accuracy.Shifting does indeed feel light, but I honestly can’t say that it feels that much different from the previous generation of Ultegra.The brakes have been beefed up overall, with the backing plate and both arms all getting a touch chunkier.Get the next 3 issues of the UK's number one cycling magazine for just £5Shadow Geometry shifts the majority of the derailleur mechanism below the cassette and chainstay, keeping it out of harm’s way, leaving only the main pivot proud of the frame.I suspect this will be a very welcome move for those with smaller hands. Functionally, it retains Shimano’s silky smooth shift operation, and at least to me, has more positive (stronger) springs which lead to a marginally snappier-feeling shift. Shimano Ultegra R8000 groupset review. These continue Shimano’s legacy of offering benchmark rim brake calipers with a stiff, secure and smooth lever feel.
