Shimano Ultegra BR-6800 Brake Caliper

The BR-6800 is designed specifically for use with Shimano's Super SLR and SLR-EVO road levers. If you are using older or non-Shimano levers, check their pull ratio specifications to ensure they match the short-pull requirements of this caliper.

This is a short-reach caliper with a range of 39mm to 49mm. It is standard for most modern road bikes, but you should measure your current brake reach to ensure the pads will align correctly with your rim braking surface.

Yes, this model features spring tension adjustment, which allows you to fine-tune the return speed and the overall feel of the lever pull to match your personal preference.

Yes, it comes equipped with cartridge-style brake pads. These allow you to easily replace the rubber inserts once they wear down without needing to replace the entire shoe assembly.

The dual symmetric pivot design significantly reduces friction at the pivot points compared to older single-pivot models. This results in a much smoother, more linear braking response that is easier to modulate in varied road conditions.

The low-profile design is specifically engineered to improve clearance, making it less likely to rub against your frame or fork. It is a helpful update if you have previously experienced clearance issues with bulkier cable adjusters.
