  • . The Dura-Ace R9120 Road Disc Brake combines the mechanical 9120 shifters with the Hydraulic 9170 brake calipers for a combination of smooth and speedy shifting with powerful and efficient braking. This kit comes pre-bled with shifter, hose, caliper and pads. The 9120 shifters feature a re-designed brake hood that is more comfortable to grip, especially for those with smaller hands. The shifters also offer up to 14mm of reach adjustment. The shifter hood has been slimmed down considerably from previous hydraulic STI shifters and is close in size and shape to the mechanical brake lever. The 9170 brake calipers have been tuned to perform optimally in road racing conditions. They feature the Shimano Flat Mount system for a sleek and aerodynamic profile and Ice Tech pads for improved heat dissipation Shifter Features: Quick and intuitive rear shifting operation Shorter lever stroke Redesigned internal shifting unit Lighter front shifting operation Redesign front system with new front derailleur Comfortable grip and operation More customisable and precise lever position Expanded reach adjustment range (14mm) Mechanical Brake Consistent braking performance in any condition Easy brake control Hydraulic Brake Weight: 253gCaliper Features: Optimally balanced hydraulic brake system for racing Light weight Improved heat dissipation ICE Technologies Freeza Simple set up and maintenance Easy tool access Integrated low-profile caliper design utilises Flat Mount system Easy wheel replacement Wide pad clearance and chamfer of brake pads Easy and clean bleeding process One-way bleeding More controllable and offers better confidence in race conditions Designed as optimum balance of hydraulic brake system for racing purposes Weight: 128gA 2-year warranty is offered with all Shimano products from Chain Reaction Cycles (3 years on Dura-Ace and XTR products) Buy Shimano Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.

No matter what type of bike product your buying, from the simple accessories through to the full setup of your custom built road bike, there are lots of important considerations that you should take into account, especially when you’re shopping online and unable to test the product first. This is especially true when you’re buying products like Brakes.

Our aim is simple, help you get the very best products for your budget. Whether that’s Shimano Dura-Ace R9120 Road Disc Brake or an alternative, we’ll do our best to find you unbiased, genuine customer reviews to help you make your decision. We’ve found 264 different products in the Brakes category at Chain Reaction Cycles and we’ve also managed to find 954 products from Shimano (although only 83 of the 954 are in the Brakes category).

Our first piece of advice is for you to spend some time really getting to know what it is you’re looking for. An important feature for one person might be totally pointless and irrelevant to you, so get a good idea of what you want and need from your Brakes. Note down this list of key features that your product must have, that way when you’re comparing alternatives you have a starting point to decide whether one product meets your needs or not.

Price is the next and probably one of the most important factors of a purchase, so it’s really worthwhile spending a bit of time analysing the price of Shimano Dura-Ace R9120 Road Disc Brake and seeing how it stacks up against those offered by different brands or even other alternatives from Shimano. Below we’re going to get into the detail of Shimano Dura-Ace R9120 Road Disc Brake to help you see how the prices stack up.

There’s quite a variance in price in this category too with the lowest priced product we found at £2.99 and most expensive was £496.72.

The next stage we went on to, was to look at the price of products from the brand: Shimano. The average price was £98.07 and we found that the price varies right from as little as £0.49 up to £2089.99 with Shimano products.

And finally we thought it would be good to give you an idea of Shimano products that appear specifically in the Brakes category. So you can see that the price of Shimano Dura-Ace R9120 Road Disc Brake at £295.99 is great value considering the average price of Shimano Brakes is £88.18 and the price varies from £11.99.

It’s also worth bearing in mind that we managed to find Shimano Dura-Ace R9120 Road Disc Brake during our price scan of several cycle retailers, for the amazing price of £295.99 which represents a £154.00 or 34% saving against RRP.
