EXCLUSIVE | New Shimano Dura-Ace Spotted by BikeRadar

BikeRadar can exclusively show the first pictures of what we believe to be Shimano’s new Dura-Ace 12-speed groupset.

Fitted to at least two Team DSM bikes at the Baloise Belgium Tour, key things we can see in the photos, shot exclusively for BikeRadar include:

→ 01:20 Dura-Ace has gone 12-speed
→ 02:20 The shifters have a new and possibly more aero profile, as well as a textured grip
→ 03:34 The crankset is more angular and features a dual-sided power meter
→ 06:21 Shimano may adopt the XTR MT900 rotors for the road (and we haven’t seen a rim brake version yet)
→ 08:19 We don’t know whether the groupset is wired or semi-wireless

The appearance of the new groupset – which will almost certainly be called Dura-Ace R9200 – in the wild suggests its release is imminent.

What do you think of the new groupset? Do you like the way it looks, or were you expecting something radically different to R9100? Leave your thoughts in the comments!
