Description

 

The new Ultegra R8100 is electronic-only and, in the disc brake version, wirelessly communicates gear-change inputs from the shifters while maintaining a wired connection from the rear derailleur and front derailleur to a battery mounted in the seat tube.

The previous battery wonโ€™t carry over to R8100 because Shimano has designed the new system around a smaller diameter wiring loom (SD-300).

The new Ultegra charges direct from the rear mech, so no junction box is required when configuring a bike.

Alongside the charge port being added to the rear derailleur, the rear mech also gets a function button to allow you to switch between shifting modes (synchronized and semi-synchro) without the need to connect to Shimano’s E-Tube app.

Synchronized shifting means the most efficient chainring is automatically selected on the front derailleur in synchronization with rear derailleur gear shifting, while semi-synchro is when the system automatically adjusts the gear on the rear cassette when a front shift is made.

The app will allow full custom options, such as multi-shift settings, STI button mapping (to assign the hidden buttons on the top of the hoods to control a Garmin, for instance) and use of third-party bike computer head units to display Di2 information (battery level, gear selection)
