Asked by: Jamie Carr
Are Shimano 6800 and 8000 compatibility?
Yes, you can install a Shimano R8000 power meter on a Shimano 6800 crankset such as 4iiii PRECISION Shimano Ultegra R8000 or the Stages Shimano Ultegra R8000 as they both use the same interface – which is called Shimano Hollowtech II.
Are 6800 and 8000 chainrings interchangeable?
Worthy of note: the new R8000 components are all cross-compatible with the previous 6800 generation and just about any other Shimano 11-speed mechanical groupset. This means that if you’re on a recent 11-speed Shimano road groupset, you can mix and match many of the components reviewed here.
What’s the difference between Ultegra 6800 and R8000?
Shimano PD-R8000 vs Shimano PD-6800
The 8000 series pedals are now 0.6mm lower in stack than their previous iterations, come with a 4mm longer axle and are a claimed 248g.
Is R7000 better than 6800?
R7000 is certainly better engineering than 6800, and it looks good too. New r7000 is better engineering, would go for it anytime. Shadow rear derailleur also decreases chance of breaking it in a crash. One thing people rarely consider; Ultegra has carbon levers, 105 has aluminum.
Is Ultegra R8000 good?
Ultegra R8000 verdict
Since I started testing the new groupset, many have also asked me whether it is as good as Dura-Ace 9000 and I’d have to say, yes, pretty much. 9000-series braking was considered benchmark and I think Ultegra R8000 exceeds it in terms of power and modulation.
Can I replace chainring without removing crank?
Condensed Answer: If the big chainring attaches to the drive-side crank via bolts, it’s possible to replace it without removing the cranks. If the chainring is permanently attached to the cranks via rivets, it’s not possible to get it off without removing the cranks.
When did Shimano Ultegra R8000 come out?
2018
SHIMANO ULTEGRA 6800 series, introduced in 2013, responded to such trends of the times. In 2017, the new series that had an all-new design appeared with the model number changed to R8000. In 2018, SHIMANO ULTEGRA RX for gravel road bikes was released.
Are Ultegra and Dura Ace chainrings interchangeable?
Thus, an Ultegra (6800/8000) 11-speed chain can be used with a Dura-Ace (9000/9100) 11-speed cassette. Similarly, there is no need to match the level of the chain and cassette to the rest of the groupset, so a 105 (5800) 11-speed cassette can be used with a Dura-Ace (9000/9100) 11-speed groupset.
What speed is Ultegra 6800?
11-speed
Ultegra 6800 has a rider tuned drivetrain. Rider tuned means that riders can individually choose a large variety of gearing options for all kinds of riding, whether you ride races, Gran Fondo’s, sportives or cyclocross. The Ultegra cassette is going 11-speed. From 11-23T all the way to 11-32T.
Why is Ultegra better than 105?
Conclusion. There is no longer any real technological difference between 105 and Ultegra, and the only real difference is that Ultegra is a lighter groupset.
Why is Dura-Ace better than Ultegra?
Although Dura Ace is considered to Shimano’s out-and-out performance groupset, surprisingly, Ultegra is generally deemed to be much more versatile, mainly because of the lower range of gears that it offers. While Ultegra cassettes go all the way up to 34 teeth, Dura Ace cassettes only go up to 30 teeth.
Is ultegra R8000 electronic?

While Ultegra cassettes go all the way up to 34 teeth, Dura Ace cassettes only go up to 30 teeth.
How many hours does Di2 last?
When used normally you can expect to get about 2500-3000km of riding out of a single charge, depending on how often you shift and how you shift. A Di2 front derailleur uses about 4 times more power than a rear derailleur will per shift.
