Why We Like The Ultegra BR-R8100 Brake Caliper Set
With the release of the Ultegra R8100 12-speed road group comes a whole new fleet of components, including the R8100 Caliper Set. Though they may not be the shining beacon of the updated groupset, they still offer powerful braking at an impressively low weight, as well as clearance for up to 28mm tires. Dedicated rim brake enthusiasts will appreciate their low weight as well as the smooth modulation offered by Shimano's dual-pivot roller-bearing SLR-EV technology.

Great upgrade to 6800 brakes
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
my 6800 brakes were getting old and they never worked great with wide rims. These are much better suited and work great with R8000 shifters. Braking is more predictable now. Long live the rim brake! Great low price as well that beats even the China distributors.
