There’s a reason Shimano decided to wait until just before the Tour de France to unleash the the new Dura-Ace 9100 to the world. They wanted everyone, pros and amateurs alike, to take notice of their revolutionary innovation. In terms of appearance, the Dura-Ace 9100 rear derailleur looks more like the mountain bike Shimano Shadow derailleur. The longer cage allows room for their brand new 11-30 cassette. The ergonomics of the shifters are further enhanced, with a larger rearward shift paddle. And the brake calipers are more angled, featuring broader shoulder that allow the housing of 28mm tires – which some say are becoming the new road standard. This new group set is lighter than ever. The shifting is responsive, almost intuitive. And the design is more refined. Stop by the shop today to test out this group set for yourself.
