Shimano Dura Ace Di2 ST-R9270 STI Brake/Shift Lever Combination With BR-R9270 Disc Brake J-Kit Direct

Get ready for the “Science of Speed”!

With the Dura-Ace ST-R9270 brake/shift lever combination, SHIMANO is opening a new chapter in the history of its Di2 shifting group. This is because the Dura-Ace ST-R9270 Di2 brake/shift lever not only supports the new 12-speed drivetrains, but also makes the cable connection to the rear and front derailleur unnecessary. An integrated radio transmitter, powered by a CR1632 button cell, sends the shifting commands wirelessly to the rear derailleur as the master unit, which in turn forwards them to the front derailleur. The complex cabling in the cockpit area with junction box and Bluetooth module is now a thing of the past. Cabling is only still needed for additional satellite shifters. However, for friends of wired connections, SHIMANO also offers the option to continue connecting the components with cables instead.

For the brake unit, too, the Japanese engineers focus on consistent further development. The hydraulic brake lever has been revised in terms of ergonomics and now impresses with a strong braking performance and improved modulation, thanks to Servo-Wave technology. The Dura-Ace BR-R9270 brake cylinder is milled from a single block in monobody construction and ensures an optimal weight to stiffness ratio. A bleed screw that is separate from the bleed port makes bleeding easier. Moreover, the improved brake calliper design promises more clearance for the brake pads, which reduces noise levels and facilitates correct alignment. The J-Kit comes pre-filled and, thanks to the pre-installed olive, allows for easy cutting of the cables as well as cable routing inside the frame, too. Additional bleeding is therefore generally unnecessary.
