This is Shimano's top of the range groupset, used by professional cyclists. It is the lightest of the Shimano range but also the most durable over time. The Dura-Ace groupset has been optimised for excellent power transmission by reducing friction to a minimum. No compromises have been made on this groupset. The smoothness of the shifting on this groupset remains a reference.
