Review on 🚴 Enhance Your Cycling Performance with Shimano Ultegra R8000 Cassette by Steve French

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Slim and light: parts and components

The R8000 is only 47 grams lighter than my factory cassette R7000 (105), but crap is a lot easier. My bike came with Ultegra derailleurs and rear derailleurs, but I got a 105 cassette because it's more durable. When shopping for a new pair of carbon wheelsets, I bought this r8000 cassette and loved it. Shifting is smooth even in the middle of a climb. Worth every penny and Radsportler got it delivered on time with no damage to the packaging. I will probably buy another 8000r to permanently replace my 7000r on my jockey bike.

Cons
  • Not everything fits
