Shimano Ultegra R8000 Climbing Kit

The Ultegra R8000 Climbing Kit by Shimano - Let's head for the mountains

The Shimano Ultegra R8000 climbing kit helps you to convert existing bikes with Dura-Ace or another 11-speed road bike groupset to a more mountain-compatible gear ratio. It includes a cassette with 11-32 or 11-34 teeth and the (long) Ultegra GS rear derailleur required for these gradations. The matching Ultegra Quick-Link chain is also included. So nothing stands in the way of a trip to mountainous regions.
