ONE GROUP – ONE MINDSET
MINDSETS
Whatever their role in racing, they are uncompromising in their quest for the best speed, performance and experience. Find out what makes them tick. And why they’re obsessed with perfection.
“SHORTCUTS NEVER LEAD TO THE PODIUM.”
– Mathieu van der Poel, pro rider
They want to win. It’s that simple. They know that crossing the finish line first can come down to milliseconds.
”I DON’T STOP UNTIL IT’S DONE.”
– Yannick Runhart, pro mechanic
Our mechanics know every inch of DURA-ACE. They’re up to speed on the latest technology and engineering and can work in their sleep.
“TEST. TWEAK. REPEAT.”
– Hiroshi Matsumoto, pro engineer
Even when they’re not working or out for a ride, our engineers are always thinking about ways to continuously improve DURA-ACE.
“I WANT TO BE THE BEST I CAN BE.”
– Nikky, amateur rider

THE SCIENCE OF SPEED
We take years to give you seconds. The pinnacle of Shimano technology and innovation, the new 12 – speed R9200 DURA-ACE is our fastest ever. Speed was the driving force behind this next – generation road group. That’s why every component was refined, designed and fine – tuned to make you faster whether you’re sprinting to the finish on the Champs – Elysees or crushing your local climb.
REFINED COCKPIT
The new wireless cockpit takes cycling’s fastest electronic shifting system and makes it even faster. Our exclusive wireless protocol increases shifting speeds without sacrificing even a tiny fraction of the precise and reliable shifting performance that is a hallmark of Shimano. New Di2 dual control levers act as the wireless command center and feature unparalleled ergonomics – including a more aero hood shape. After all, the difference between winning or losing could be the split second it takes to reach for a gear.
OUR FASTEST SHIFTING EVER
A fine-tuned interplay of lightweight, ergonomic shift levers and HYPERGLIDE+ drivetrain technology is set to revolutionize road cycling. You can rely on lightning-fast precision shifts and performance in all scenarios – and wireless where it matters most.
OUR MOST ADVANCED DRIVETRAIN
100% performance focused, our most advanced drivetrain ever – featuring HYPERGLIDE+ technology – is a game-changer. It lets you climb, sprint and push your limits seamlessly without stopping to think about your next gear change. Another plus is the integrated power meter that record real-time data – from both your left and right leg – so you can improve your performance and reach your true potential.
FINEST BRAKING CONTROL
Completely redesigned hydraulic disc brakes balance speed control and stopping power like never before. More maintenance-friendly thanks to a new bleed process, they also feature Shimano’s proven SERVOWAVE technology that optimizes control, ramping up confidence in race conditions. New brake calipers offer increased pad-to-rotor clearance when the brake is disengaged, to prevent reducing brake noise.
HIGH PERFORMANCE WHEELS
Engineered to be robust yet low weight and aerodynamic, the new DURA-ACE wheel line-up offers exceptional performance whatever road you race or ride. The entire collection features a new freehub that uses DIRECT ENGAGEMENT for increased driving rigidity. Disc brake wheels are offered in both tubeless and tubular options. The lightweight C36 is a KOM/QOM crusher. The all-carbon C50 is a powerful all-rounder. And the sprint-worthy C60 is for when you need to dig deep. To complete the line-up there are tubular rim brake versions in all three rim heights.
