11-speeds (R8050)

The Shimano Ultegra Di2 11-speed R8050 is an electronic groupset based on the top-tier Dura-Ace technology, specifically designed for road cyclists seeking a perfect balance between performance, precision, and value for money. It offers the advantages of electronic shifting combined with the reliability and durability that Shimano has been known for over the decades.

The Di2 system (Digital Integrated Intelligence) from Shimano delivers unparalleled shifting precision and speed. With a simple press of the shift levers, the chain moves swiftly and reliably from one sprocket to the next, regardless of external conditions. Shifting errors or malfunctions that can occur with mechanical groups under load are a thing of the past. Additionally, the shifting can be customized via the E-Tube software, allowing the rider to adjust the shift behavior to their exact preferences.

The shift/brake levers of the Ultegra Di2 R8050 are ergonomically designed, providing the rider with a comfortable and secure hand position during long rides. A special feature is the wireless communication with the E-Tube app, which allows the groupset to be connected to cycling computers and display detailed information such as battery status and shifting logs. The system also offers the option to switch to Synchro-Shift, where the front derailleur automatically syncs with the rear derailleur, ensuring the most efficient gear selection at all times.

The groupset is available with hydraulic disc brakes or classic rim brakes, with the disc brake providing maximum braking power and modulation, even in challenging conditions such as wet weather or steep descents. These brakes ensure that the rider always has full control of the bike without compromising on performance.

In summary, the Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8050 offers an ideal combination of cutting-edge technology and proven functionality, providing ambitious cyclists with exceptional performance and reliability in the road cycling sector.
