About this deal

Price Matches may only be honored on identical items. The product must be the same make and model (i.e., the same size, color, year, etc.). As you can see, some components have lost weight, others have gained a little, and in total the new groupset is claimed to be 35g heavier than its predecessor. It would be a surprise if Dura-Ace was anything less than brilliant, and first impressions of R9200 are overwhelmingly positive.

Dura-Ace R9200’s 12-speed cassettes will come in two ratios of 11-30t and 11-34t initially, with an 11-28t option to follow. speed full-suspension mountain bikes require slightly longer chains. The difference is just one link. Here is Shimano's recommended sizing method for full-suspension bikes. Perhaps the most visually arresting part of the new groupset, the ST-R9270 hydraulic lever bodies are slightly larger than those of R9100, and the lever bodies curve inwards slightly.However, Smith has used that data to develop his own 'UltraFast' chain, which is essentially the fastest chain he's tested (Shimano's Dura-Ace CN-7901) ultrasonically cleaned and treated with a blend of paraffin wax, pure PTFE, and molybdenum sulfide lubricants. This recipe produces, Smith says, provides the lowest consistently measureable frictional losses of everything he's tested.

All current and previous generation derailleurs are of the Shadow RD type. This includes the 12-speed derailleurs, 11-speed MTB derailleurs, and the last generation 11-speed road rear derailleurs. The cassette also hasn’t changed much, gaining an extra titanium cog in certain configurations and losing a few grams courtesy of some more aggressive machining and stamping.Ultegra RD-R8150 (12-speed), RD-R8050-GS (medium cage), RD-R8050-SS (short cage), RD-RX805 (clutch) In contrast, Dura-Ace 7800 requires a 20-degree throw for both upshifts and single downshifts, so if anything, downshift throw on 7900 has gotten longer. Perhaps Shimano were measuring 7900’s throws from a vertical line? Either way, tsk, tsk.

Do you have a GRX ( RD-RX815 (2x), RD-RX817 (1x)) bike, or a 12-speed MTB? Shimano's recommendations for these bikes are slightly different. Shimano says it’s reduced the amount of free stroke in the brake levers and they now benefit from Servo Wave, which makes the relationship between lever travel and pad travel non-linear. More noticeable is the shifting speed. While the bigger gains are supposed to be at the rear, it’s the front shifting that really impresses.Shimano has provided claimed weights for every component in the disc groupset, along with a comparison to an equivalent R9170 Di2 groupset. With the miles I found the shifting imprecise and needing to be readjusted constantly. Also being in mountains I had to regear and found the cassette 22-30 only to exist in shimano. When receiving the shimano cassette, as an engineer I was disappointed with the construction vs sram. However the new gearing was perfect for the hills in my region.
