Shimano Dura-Ace R9160 Di2 Bar End Shifters

Yes, the R9160 shifters are fully compatible with Shimano's 11-speed Di2 E-Tube systems. They integrate seamlessly, allowing you to plug them directly into your existing junction box.

No, these are dedicated shifting units designed for bar-end mounting. You will still need separate brake levers for your aero bars to control your stopping power.

The single-button design simplifies your cockpit and reduces the risk of accidental shifts. It is designed to work with Shimano's Synchro Shift, which automatically manages your front derailleur, so you only need to worry about shifting up or down through your rear cassette.

Yes, the electronic actuation provides a consistent, tactile click regardless of temperature. Because there are no mechanical cables to freeze or stiffen, they perform reliably even in harsh, cold conditions.

Yes, you will need to install the appropriate E-Tube wiring harness to connect these shifters to your Di2 battery and junction box. This replaces your old mechanical cables entirely, eliminating issues like cable stretch and friction.

Yes, using Shimano's E-Tube Project software, you can customize the button functions. This allows you to configure the shifters to your specific preferences, such as adjusting how Synchro Shift behaves or assigning specific actions to each button.
