Employing the latest technologies from Dura Ace R9100 and Ultegra road components, the Shimano 105 R7000 series delivers added versatility and improved ride performance for a wide spectrum or road cyclists. Featuring refined ergonomics, the shift levers match the slim look and feel of their Ultegra counterpart while the addition of the medium rear derailleur and 11-34T cassette expand gear ranges. Highlight of the new 105 is the addition of hydraulic disc brakes with Shimano’s leading disc-specific features to the series lineup. The Flat Mount calipers are compatible with Ice Technologies pads and rotors beginning with a 140 mm diameter to offer the most capable Shimano 105 group ever.
Shimano 105 RD-R7000 rear derailleur
The Shimano RD-R7000 rear derailleur utilizes Shimano’s Shadow RD low profile design and is available with both short and medium cage for wider gear range combinations. Shadow RD increases shift stability and reduces crash vulnerability while providing a sleek integrated appearance. The derailleur components are redesigned for disc-specific frames, accommodating a wider gear pitch without sacrificing shifting performance.
