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 control lever

The new Ultegra dual control lever allows for more accurate and precise shifting. It has a greater reach for adjusting your break and gear levers. The redesigned internal shifting unit ensures a quick and intuitive rear-shifting operation. When paired with the new FD-R8000 front derailleur, your front shifting will be even lighter.
