  • Shimano Ultegra R8025 2×11 Speed Short Reach Shifters Set. Benefiting from trickle-down technologies from the top-tier Dura-Ace series, the Ultegra R8025 shifters give you advanced control in all conditions. They feature a smaller lever size and new positioning which improves ergonomics for riders with smaller hands. Whether you’re taking part in a race or riding with your local club, you’ll easily maintain the edge over your competitor’s, thanks to their unique short reach profile Lightweight and Precise Road Shifters. Ready to dominate any road cycling challenge, their redesigned internal shifting unit provides you with quick and intuitive shifting operation. Shimano has taken usability a step further by installing major industry-leading technologies into these shifters for unrivalled performance out on the road When you hear and feel that “click” every time you shift with these levers, it’s the Shimano Indexed Shifting technology capturing a light, precise and consistent gearing experience. Working in harmony with your derailleurs, the feeling resonates into your hand, letting you know that your commands are being answered. Features: Use: Road Speed: 11 speed Oil: Mineral oil Multiple Shifts: 2 Reach: Short reach for smaller hands Shifter Type: Dual Control Lever Recommended Brake Caliper: BR-R8070 Clamp Band Inner Diameter: 23.8-24 2mmTechnologies: Shimano Index System: It’s the technology behind that “click” you hear and feel everytime you shift through your gears. That “click” captures the light, precise, and consistent shifting bikes equipped with Shimano deliver. It’s the sound of perfect gear changes, of levers directing derailleurs in harmony, and the feeling that resonate into your hand, letting you know that your commands are being answered. Servo Wave Action: When you pull a Servo Wave brake lever, initial pad travel is fast, so little lever movement is needed to bring the pads into contact with the rotor. The power multiplication factor then increases rapidly at the pad-to-rim contact so more of the lever stroke is used to apply greater braking power with improved control. Free Stroke: The distance from initial lever position to pad contact point can be adjusted to suit any hand size, type of riding and individual rider preferences.

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 Gear Shifters.

Our aim is simple, help you get the very best products for your budget.
