Shimano Ultegra BR-R8010-R

This is a direct-mount brake, meaning it bolts directly to the frame or fork rather than using a single center bolt. It is specifically designed for road frames that feature direct-mount brake posts, so please confirm your frame is compatible with this mounting standard before purchasing.

Yes. The direct-mount architecture significantly increases rigidity and reduces flex compared to traditional single-bolt calipers. This results in more consistent modulation and a firmer, more responsive feel at the lever.

The BR-R8010-R is designed with improved clearance in mind, accommodating wider modern road tires more effectively than older rim brake generations. While exact clearance depends on your specific frame and rim width, it generally handles up to 28mm tires comfortably.

Yes, this caliper is fully compatible with all current Shimano Super SLR and SLR-EV road brake levers. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing Shimano road groupsets.

The aluminum construction strikes an ideal balance between low weight and high durability. At 162 grams, it keeps your bike light for climbing while maintaining the structural stiffness required for confident, heavy braking on technical descents.
