Know your Dura-Ace from your 105 with our guide to the best Shimano road bike groupsets
Although the 12-speed mechanical 105 groupset is now here, there is still healthy availability of 105 R7000 and our reviewers have always had high praise for it, so we're keeping it in our guide until it goes extinct.
The rear derailleurs are Shimano's 'Shadow' design with the main parallelogram moved back and down by an extra pivot that effectively extends the gear hanger so the derailleur is tucked under the chainstay more, reducing the chance of crash damage. As explained in the full article above, CUES will see Shimano amalgamate its mid and budget-range city, touring and mountain bike groupsets into one family of interchangeable 9-speed , 10-speed and 11-speed components. This means that parts can be mixed and matched, which should make sourcing and fitting replacements much simpler.
You get proper Dual Control gear shifters, with the brake lever changing down the cassette and the smaller lever changing to a higher gear. That’s essentially the same system as used to be on Dura-Ace a few years ago. You have double and triple chainset options, and the rear derailleur will accommodate an 11-32t cassette along with a 50/34t compact chainset.
Disc brakes have numerous advantages over rim brakes: they're less affected by water; they're unaffected by rim damage and they provide finer control over braking power than is possible with rim brakes.
