Shimano’s New 2019 105 Road Components Go Disc, Broaden Gear Ranges, Refine Ergonomics

04/03/2018

Employing the latest technology from DURA-ACE R9100 and ULTEGRA road components, Shimano 105 R7000 delivers added versatility and improved ride performance for a wide spectrum or road cyclists. Featuring refined ergonomics, ST-R7000 shift levers match the slim look and feel of Ultegra R8000 and R8020 while the addition of the RD-R7000-GS derailleur and 11-34T cassette expand gear ranges. The biggest news for Shimano 105 is the addition of hydraulic disc brakes with Shimano’s leading disc-specific features to the series lineup. New flat-mount BR-R7070 calipers are compatible with ICE TECHNOLOGIES pads and SM-RT70 rotors (including a new 140mm size) to offer the most capable Shimano 105 group yet.
