Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8050 11sp Front Derailleur

Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8050 11sp Front Derailleur

Redesigned to be compatible with a wider 11-speed gear range but still retaining the same slick shifting ability, the Ultegra Di2 R8050 is a real game changer. Stiff and efficient enough to change gears cleanly even when you’re pedalling hard out of the saddle, it’s the ideal front derailleur upgrade for your Shimano Ultegra Di2-equipped road bike.

Shimano Synchronised Shifting

Utilising Shimano’s innovative Synchronised Shift, the front derailleur automatically shifts when the rear derailleur is shifted, which means that both derailleurs work together seamlessly. Conveniently, this shifting technology works the other way around, too; so, the rear derailleur shifts automatically when the front derailleur is shifted. This means you will always have optimal front/rear gear positioning. Di2’s auto-trim feature automatically centres the front derailleur precisely around the chain, which avoids chain rub as you travel across your cassette. Welcome to the New-Age of performance-oriented shifting.

Technologies:

• Di2: The power and precision of Di2 is unmatched. It enables beautifully smooth shifting both front and rear. The lack of maintenance and adjustment is impressive: once you’ve customised your Di2 to shift to your preferences, it will continue to do so endlessly
• Shimano Synchronised Shift: With the customisation of the E-Tube Project app, both front and rear derailleurs are automatically selected for the most optimal gear combination
