Description
The Shimano Ultegra shift/brake set consisting of the electronic ST-R8170 STI lever for lightning-fast shifting and the hydraulic BR-R8170 disc brake caliper for superbly controllable and quiet braking. Trouble-free maintenance is provided by the proven One Way Brake Bleeding concept and the Easy Hose Joint System which simplifies brake hose exchanges.
Shimano Ultegra Di2 ST-R8170 STI brake/shift lever
The ST-R8170 STI levers feature optimised ergonomics and lightning-fast shifting. Servowave technology provides extended brake control range and for individual adjustment, the levers feature the option of reach and free stroke adjustment.
Shimano Ultegra BR-R8170 disc brake caliper
All around improved, the Shimano Ultegra BR-R8170 caliper offers optimised dosing, quieter braking performance and extremely simplified maintenance. The 10 % increase in brake pad spacing allows for a significant reduction in noise during braking. To simplify maintenance, the hydraulic 2-piston brake caliper not only features the proven One-Way-Brake-Bleeding system, but also a separate arrangement of bleed nipple and opening screw. On the one hand, this minimises the risk of the bleed kit hose slipping off when opening or closing the system and, on the other hand, makes it unnecessary to dismantle the caliper from the frame for brake bleeding process.
