Cutting edge technology for the ultimate in control & confidence.

Key
Features: New designed pull arm for more direct & easy shifting. More uniform shifting effort across the range. New support bolt for more stable contact to the frame. Compatible with Dura-Ace ST-9000 shifters & FC-9000 chainsets for optimum shifting performance. Outer trim is no longer required allowing the rider to focus on racing.
