• Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 R9170 Road Disc BrakeThe Dura-Ace R9170 Road Disc Brake combines the Di2 9170 shifters with the Hydraulic 9170 brake calipers for a combination of smooth and speedy shifting with powerful and efficient braking. This kit comes pre-bled and ready to use with shifter, hose, caliper and pads. The 9170 shifters feature an ideal ergonomic shape that is comfortable in the hand and similar in size to mechanical braking versions of the shifter. The shift paddles now also feature a more defined "click" for confidence in shifting and to prevent mis-shifts. E-Tube compatibility means that the shift paddles can be customised to suit the rider. The 9170 shifters now include Synchro-shift technology that automatically moves the rear derailleur when the front ring is changed or moves the front chainring with the rear shifts to optimise chainline and drivetrain efficiency. The 9170 brake calipers have been tuned to perform optimally in road racing conditions. They feature the Shimano Flat Mount system for a sleek and aerodynamic profile and Ice Tech pads for improved heat dissipation.Shifter Features: More controllable and confidence inspiring in race conditions Optimally balanced hydraulic brake system for racing Dedicated brake lever shape, stroke, contact point, stiffness and dedicated shift paddles Lightweight Carbon composite plastic material hood More intuitive, quicker shifting operation More defined click feeling and ergonomic shift lever position Each switch has the option for multi-shift ON or OFF E-TUBE project Ideal ergonomic cover shape with better thickness & tenderness Simple set up and maintenance Easy replace hood cover Customise the shifts to suit your riding styleCaliper Features: Optimally balanced hydraulic brake system for racing Light weight Improved heat dissipation ICE Technologies Freeza Simple set up and maintenance Easy tool access Integrated low-profile caliper design utilises Flat Mount system Easy wheel replacement Wide pad clearance and chamfer of brake pads Easy and clean bleeding process One-way bleeding More controllable and offers better confidence in race conditions Designed as optimum balance of hydraulic brake system for racing purposesA 2-year warranty is offered with all Shimano products from Chain Reaction Cycles (3 years on Dura-Ace and XTR products).Buy Shimano Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
