The Ultegra groupset offers a wide variety of shifting - from mechanical to Di2 electronic - and gearing options that spans everything from road racing to touring and gravel riding. It's known for being "pro-proven," and it also shares design and features with the Dura-Ace group. In the Ultegra 8000 series, the ST-R8025 Shifter is one that stands out as light and intuitive with top-notch control, perfect for your favorite classic rides. With it, you'll see that same light shifting operation as Ultegra R8000 with a redesigned internal shifting unit for quick and intuitive rear shifting operation. Riders are provided control in all conditions due to Shimano's category-leading hydraulic disc brakes and ergonomic shifting action. A smaller, refined lever improves functional design to provide greater control riding through everything from sun to rain to hurricane. Dedicated lever control means riders with smaller hands will especially benefit.
