Race-proven precision in a single lever: the Shimano Dura-Ace ST-R9170 integrates 11-speed Di2 electronic shifting with hydraulic disc braking, delivering the confidence and control demanded by elite road cyclists. Engineered as part of the R9150 Dura-Ace Di2 disc groupset, this right-hand lever controls the rear brake and rear (or front) derailleur — all from an ergonomically refined carbon hood.

Highlights

  • Dura-Ace Di2 — Shimano's flagship electronic road shifting platform
  • Hydraulic disc braking with mineral oil fluid system via SM-BH90 hose
  • 11-speed electronic shifting with customisable switch functions via E-TUBE Project
  • Carbon composite plastic hood for low weight and optimal grip
  • Reach adjust and free stroke adjustment for a personalised feel
  • 3 switches per lever including a hidden hood button for additional function assignment
  • Openable hood cover for simplified brake bleed and maintenance access
  • SyncroShift-ready: full and semi-synchronised shift modes supported
  • Weighs approximately 158 g (right lever)

Di2 Electronic Control

The ST-R9170 connects to Shimano's E-TUBE Di2 network via two SD50 ports, allowing each switch to be assigned independently — upshift, downshift, or front/rear derailleur — through the E-TUBE Project app. SyncroShift enables the front derailleur to automatically manage chainring selection based on rear cassette position, reducing cognitive load during hard efforts.

Hydraulic Brake Integration

Shimano's hydraulic system delivers consistent, modulated braking power with low lever effort. The lever shape, stroke length, and contact point have been specifically tuned for road racing ergonomics. Reach adjust allows the lever to be moved closer to or further from the bar to suit different hand sizes, while free stroke adjustment dials in the feel of initial pad contact.

Compatibility & Fit

Designed for Shimano Dura-Ace R9150 Di2 disc brake road groupsets. Compatible with BR-R9170 flat-mount disc brake calipers and SM-BH90 hydraulic hose. Requires a Di2 battery (BM-DN100 or BT-DN110) and junction. Note: not compatible with SW-R610 sprint shifters — use SW-R9150 instead. Right lever only; sold separately from the left lever.
