Since 1973, Shimano's Dura-Ace components have been at the forefront of pro racing & pro-level technology. Dura-Ace has continued its legacy of being proven in the peloton as well as serving as a launch pad for new technologies. Bradley Wiggins rocketed to victory in the 2012 le Tour de France powered by revolutionary 11-speed Dura-Ace. Now you too can own this cutting edge technology. Created by definitive Shimano engineering & the latest technology, the new 9000 series Dura-Ace mechanical road group utilises cutting edge technology for the ultimate in control & confidence. Key
