Shimano Ultegra BR-6700 Brake calipers compatibility and specifications

Shimano Ultegra BR-6700 Brake calipers

Ultegra has long been recognized as a solid performer and thanks to Shimano's Systems Engineering approach the 6700 series continues to deliver. Lighter, more stylish and advanced by the latest Dura-Ace technologies, new Ultegra is a beautifully balanced group with optimal performance and specifications. Its unprecedented racing DNA takes shifting and braking to another level, with a with a weight reduction of 150g versus 6600 series.

Spindly brake calipers can’t effectively stop a speeding bike. The new Ultegra 6700 brakes not only have a rigid caliper to slow the wheel, but also a cam in the levers that provides mechanical advantage and modulation. With new pad compounds, the braking power is 20% better in the dry and has actually doubled in wet conditions. By conserving energy expended in stopping and modulating, riders can simply go faster, and longer.
