There’s a thousand ways to every goal

Some people say it doesn’t matter which path you take, as long as you arrive at your destination. But you know better than that. Riding is not about a destination. It’s about being on the road, whether that road is smoothly paved or full of potholes and cracks. It’s about tackling mountains and steep grades, with a sense of awe for the accomplishments of body and bike. And it’s about sharing that awe with friends – or savouring it alone. So yes, it truly matters which choices you make. Because in the end, they determine how far you will go. On your ride. Your route. Your Ultegra.

Dual-Pivot Caliper Brake

The new BR-R8000 offers a very sleek design, with narrower gaps between the arms. The wider clearance makes it compatible with larger tire sizes such as 28C. The stabilizer between the axles reduces deformation and improves the braking efficiency, offering a clear contact feeling with balanced rigidity, weight and stopping power.
