Ready for action, this fantastic model features a rock-solid alloy construction which makes it more than capable of handling all the abuse that comes with a long day in the saddle. Kitted out with some of the finest Shimano technologies around and its compatibility with Di2 groupsets makes this an ideal choice of upgrade for precise braking and smooth shifts.

Technologies:

SLR-EV: SLR-EV is SLR with a dual symmetric pivot brake caliper. The short-arm brake design employs two bearings and a roller to realize greater efficiency in the pivot area and deliver superior modulation and power for braking. Together with the BC-9000 brake cable, the latest calipers deliver 36% more braking power than SHIMANO’s previous brake model. And we offer 2 axle symmetric brake caliper and fork mount and chain stay mount type (BR-R9100/6810/5810).

Dual Control Lever: DCL stands for DUAL CONTROL LEVER. It has brake and shifting functions in the system and enables easy operation. Ergonomic innovation is probably more critical to the higher standard performance than the added gearing. The shift internals borrow the robustness from our MTB technology and are so smooth and effortless that one finger shifts front and rear are possible. Indeed, shifting is the ultimate act of SHIMANO TOTAL INTEGRATION, and simply has to be experienced to be understood.

E-Tube: The E-TUBE platform’s “Plug & play” and D-FLY wireless connections make it easier than ever to check the system’s status, and apply customized settings to DI2 and SHIMANO STEPS components with a PC, tablet or smart phone. Wirelessly customize functions like SHIMANO SYNCHRONIZED SHIFT over Bluetooth® while out on a ride. Automatically checks for firmware updates on each startup to ensure all components are running the latest version. PC, smartphone and tablet applications can help you quickly diagnose errors and simplify the repair process. Beautiful visualisation of your real-time SHIMANO STEPS riding data on your smartphone. Advanced all-weather design resists rusting, stretching, and freezing.
