In this classic silver colourway, the Ultegra groupset looks fantastic. A star performer of the Shimano family, this Ultegra groupset brings together trickle down technology from Dura Ace like the Hollowglide chainset and STI levers, it really does offer a lot of groupset for your money.
Groupset includes: Chainset (standard ratio, 53-39), cassette (11-25), front and rear derailleur, shifters, cables, brakeset, bottom bracket and chain.
Key Features:
Chainset:
- The HollowTech II 10-speed Ultegra chainset offers an ideal balance of light weight and stiffness, making it the perfect choice for both enthusiast and competitive riders.
- HollowGlide hollow outer chainring gives vast improvements in rigidity by virtually removing outer chainring flex and hugely improves shift performance, even under high load.
- The chainring teeth have been developed to work in conjunction with the CN7900 and CN6700 chains for increased contact to provide greater efficiency and improved power transfer.
- Industry leading HollowTech II cold forged hollow crank arms have been evolved to increase rigidity, reduce weight and improve strength.
- A wide range of chainring options and crank arm lengths are available to meet the needs of all riders and racing disciplines.
- HollowTech II integrated bottom bracket uses a wider bearing placement and larger axle diameter for increased stiffness and efficiency.
- HollowTech II integrated bottom bracket seal design has minimal bearing interface ensuring smooth rolling and increased durability.
- Weight: 785g (claimed including BB).
- This is a 53-39 standard ratio chainset.
Shifters:
- Precision-engineered Ultegra STI levers with carbon levers offer powerful braking and effortless 10-speed shifting, making them the ideal choice for both enthusiast and competitive riders.
- Shift cables are routed under the bar tape: re-development and positioning of the internal mechanism in combination with PTFE coated cables have made this possible, providing faster, lighter and smoother shifting.
- Ergonomic shift arc follows natural hand movement with inward shift stroke distance reduced for rapid and precise gear changes.
- Brake lever pivots have been positioned to increase power and improve ergonomics when riding on the hoods.
- Tunable reach adjusters enable custom fitments for all hands.
- Compatible with FlightDeck for efficient training.
- Weight: 445g per pair (Manufacturer claimed).
Rear Derailleur:
- Wide link design gives quick accurate shifts and excellent drivetrain efficiency.
- Wide outer link plates increase pivot joint rigidity to reduce shifting deflection.
- Lightweight aluminium pulley cage helps reduce weight without sacrificing shifting performance.
- Able to run a compact chainset and a 28T cassette.
- Total capacity: 33T (RD-6700-SS).
- Weight: 190g (Manufacturer claimed).
Front Derailleur:
- Completely redesigned for use with the new 6700 shifters for superb shifting performance.
- 10% less spring tension provides a feather light down shift and smooth shifter stroke.
- Wide inner link increased rigidity and takes front shifting performance to a new level, especially under heavy load.
- The forged wide link cradles the axle pivot at both ends providing a smooth shifting swing.
- Improved chain guide shape.
- Capacity: 16T.
- Braze on mount.
- Weight: 89g (Manufacturer claimed).
Bottom Bracket:
- HollowTech II integrated bottom bracket uses a wider bearing placement and larger axle diameter for increased stiffness and efficiency.
- HollowTech II integrated bottom bracket seal design has minimal bearing interface ensuring smooth rolling and increased durability.
- Only available in a BSA thread.
Cassette:
- Lightweight 10-speed cassette with rigid alloy sprocket carrier for reduced weight and better shifting performance, even under the most demanding gear changes.
- Hyperglide sprockets have been designed to reduce weight with improve teeth shaping providing accurate shifting and reduced wear.
- Wide gear range to meet the demands of all types of rider.
- Weight: 208g (Manufacturer claimed, 11-23).
- Only available in 11-25 with this boxed groupset.
Chain (6701):
- Super narrow lightweight 10-speed chain for optimum cassette and chainset interaction and maximum power transfer.
- Chain uses a directional design with specifically shaped inner and outer plates.
- The inner plate has been developed for better contact with gears providing smoother shifting under high load, giving efficient pedalling, increased rigidity and near silent running.
- Supplied with Shimano joining pin.
- 5.88mm chain width.
- Weight: 267g (Manufacturer claimed).
Brakeset:
- Dual-pivot caliper brake with super SLR design for quick linear response, increased rigidity and improved braking power.
- Enhanced brake arch proportions give a quicker linear response and increased power.
- Low profile outer cable stop position improves cable routing for reduced friction.
- Brake shoe compound produces 100% more stopping power in wet conditions than the previous generation.
- Spring tension adjuster for precision set-up.
- Adjustable toe-in on the brake shoes for easy set up.
- Weight: 317g - front and rear (Manufacturer claimed).
