Shimano Ultegra R8010 Brake Caliper

The R8010 is a direct-mount brake, meaning it bolts directly to the frame or fork rather than using a single central bolt. You must ensure your bicycle frame specifically supports the direct-mount standard before purchasing.

These calipers are designed to accommodate tires up to 28mm wide. This provides a good balance between modern aerodynamic profiles and the comfort of slightly wider road tires.

By bolting directly to the frame, the caliper eliminates the flex often associated with a single-pivot mounting bolt. This creates a stiffer system that results in more immediate, predictable stopping power and better modulation.

Yes, the R8010 is designed to work seamlessly with Shimano's current Super SLR and SLR-EV road brake levers. It is fully compatible with the rest of the Ultegra R8000 groupset and other modern Shimano road components.

Yes, the caliper ships with Shimano's standard road brake pads, which are designed to provide consistent stopping performance in both dry and wet conditions.
