ONE GROUP – ONE COMMUNITY
Race your friends, laugh, enjoy nature, stop for coffee… Shimano ULTEGRA’s trusted quality lets you leave time behind.
RACE YOUR MATES
Competing against each other is more fun than competing against the clock. For them, it’s about the journey not the destination, trading off the lead, encouraging each other – and having a laugh. That said, there’s always a scramble towards the finish line…
MAKE FRIENDS
Starting this little club of like-minded cyclists was organic. It started with two, and then it grew. Now weekends are spent exploring local sights and, natch, watering holes. Keeping fit has never been this much fun or so effortless – just like meeting new people and making friends for life.
RIDE TOGETHER
Road cycling has transformed their relationship with nature – and each other. Nothing beats heading out of the hustle and bustle of the city into landscapes that unfold as the noise and smoke behind fades into the distance. Shared moments and a shared passion have brought this couple closer than ever.
CONNECT WITH OTHERS
Community revolves around this local bike shop. It’s where those who love their sport inspire a new generation to share in their passion. Where boundaries are broken down. And where young and old alike – from all walks of life – cycle out, together, looking for adventure in the great outdoors.

THE SCIENCE OF SPEED
With great speed comes great responsibility. That’s why we took a holistic approach that was 100% performance-focused in our quest to make the new ULTEGRA group even faster. Whether competing in local club races, trying to beat your personal best or riding for the pure enjoyment and camaraderie, our new 12-speed road group offers unparalleled control and comfort – all day and every day. This is the Science of Speed. And it’s what sets Shimano apart.
CLEANER COCKPIT
A sleek new wireless cockpit brings simplicity, clean aesthetics, improved ergonomics and easier maintenance. This is thanks to the new wireless system we developed to make shifting even faster — without compromising on precision and reliability. Road cycling never felt so good.
LIGHTNING-FAST CONTINUOUS SHIFTING
Shimano’s lightning-fast shifting innovation brings an uninterrupted and intuitive experience to road cycling. Game-changing HYPERGLIDE+ technology lets you climb, sprint, or cruise without stopping to think about your next gear change. The new Di2 shifting system uses our exclusive wireless technology to deliver the fastest, most accurate shifting on the market. And battery life is also best-in-class – the centralized internal battery delivers approximately 1,000 kilometers of worry-free riding on a single charge.
WORLD’S MOST INSPIRED DRIVETRAIN
The ULTEGRA R8100 group is our fastest, most inspired drivetrain at this level and packed with innovative game-changing features. HYPERGLIDE+ technology comes to road cycling for the first time. The new Di2 shifting system introduces our exclusive wireless integrated circuit. Meanwhile, the move to a 12-speed cassette ensures you’ll have all the gearing range you need. New to ULTEGRA, the power meter brings Shimano power data precision to a new, more approachable level. Ergonomics and aerodynamics have been enhanced at every turn. And, of course, you can set up the drivetrain just the way you like it via Shimano’s user-friendly E-TUBE app.
OPTIMIZED BRAKING CONTROL
Quieter and smoother, the new ULTEGRA braking system means you can enjoy even more precise modulation and stopping control on every ride thanks to Shimano’s proven SERVO WAVE ACTION technology and enhanced brake lever ergonomics. Easier to maintain, the completely redesigned hydraulic disc brakes balance speed control and stopping power like never before. While the new design of the brake calipers minimizes brake rub. A tour de force in braking, ULTEGRA lets you focus on the next sprint, the next descent or conversations with your riding buddy.
REVAMPED WHEEL SETS
ULTEGRA R8100 offers a completely revamped line-up of wheelsets for every type of rider and every terrain. Think full carbon rims, three rim depths, tubeless compatibility and superb driving rigidity. The lightweight C36 is an all-round performer and climber’s delight. The C50 offers a superb balance of aerodynamic efficiency and low weight. And the C60 is earmarked for speedsters after every aerodynamic advantage. What’s more – unique to ULTEGRA – the wheels are backwards compatible with existing 11-speed cassettes.
