The Shimano Ultegra Di2 11-speed 6870 is an electronic groupset that bridges the gap between the top-tier and mid-range offerings from
Shimano. It features numerous high-end technologies originally developed for the
Dura-Ace Di2 groupset, but at a more affordable price. The 6870 groupset is aimed at ambitious cyclists who value precise shifting, reliability, and a fair price.
At the heart of the Ultegra Di2 6870 is the Di2 shifting system (Digital Integrated Intelligence), which provides extremely fast and precise gear changes. With a simple press of the
shift/brake levers, the rider can seamlessly switch between gears. The electronic shifting functions precisely regardless of external factors such as weather conditions or chain wear. Mechanical friction, which can cause delays or malfunctions in traditional shifting systems, is not an issue here.
Another major advantage of the 6870 Di2 groupset is the ability to customize shifting functions via the E-Tube software. Riders can configure the shifting behavior according to their preferences to achieve optimal performance. The system also offers a multishift function, allowing multiple gears to be shifted in a single movement, which is especially useful on steep climbs or during fast sprints.
The Ultegra Di2 6870 features ergonomically designed shift and brake levers, optimized for comfort and long rides. With the wireless Di2 system, it is also possible to connect the shifting system to a
cycling computer, allowing monitoring of data such as battery level or shifting logs. The Synchro-Shift technology enables automatic adjustment of the front derailleur, ensuring the best gear ratio at all times.
In summary, the Shimano Ultegra Di2 6870 combines cutting-edge technology with proven functionality, offering reliable and precise shifting performance for road cyclists who demand high standards from their equipment.
