Shimano Ultegra BR-R8100 caliper brake, front

The Ultegra R8100 caliper gives you a clear, defined contact point at the lever, so you can hold speed into a corner and shed it precisely rather than grabbing. Shimano has balanced rigidity, weight and stopping power here, and opened up the clearance for wider tyres.

Highlights

  • Ultegra R8100 series rim caliper brake, front
  • Balance of rigidity, weight and stopping power
  • Clearance for tyres up to 28C
  • Series colour finish

Lever feel

A stiffer caliper body means more of your hand force reaches the pad instead of flexing the brake, which is what gives the R8100 its clear contact feeling and predictable modulation.

Compatibility and fit

This is the front caliper. In Australia the right-hand lever operates the front brake, so it runs from your right lever. Maximum tyre size is 28C. Shimano lists the R8100 caliper brake in both traditional and direct mount versions, so confirm which your frame takes before ordering. If you are not certain, contact Tune Cycles and we will check it with you.

Shimano warrants this component against defects in materials and workmanship. Normal wear is not covered — on a rim brake that means brake pads, brake cables and outer casing, along with damage from crashes, incorrect fitting or modification.

Warranty claims and returns go through Tune Cycles. Contact us with your order number and a description of the fault, and we will assess the part and handle the claim with the distributor on your behalf. Please do not send the part to the brand directly.
