Pair of rim brakes R8000 latest shimano ultegra. Plain boxed packaged items. Ideally you need shifters that are slr-ev, which is shimano 4700 upwards. I use 6800 Ultegra shifters. To get the best from these brakes. Plus upgrade the pads to swissstop bxp can also give added benefits. A list of compatible shifters and brakes with brakes is in the last pic (taken from shimano pages). I found the front brake underwhelming. But changing the brake cable and shortening the length has made the brake work properly. A notable feature is 28mm tyre clearance. That’s great but no guarantee the wheel will actually fit. It does depend on the bike frame and wheel width. A wide whee can make a 28mm tyre seat wider than that. And every tyre brand sizes up different. Best value brakes on the market. A step up from 105 and not the eye watering price of dura ace. More predictable, linear braking curve. Clear contact feeling with better linearity. Stabilizer added between axles work. Less gap between each arms. Comfortable riding with wider tire on rough road. Better clearance with wider tire. Compatible with 28C tire size. Dual Pivot and SLR-EV technology. Pic 1 to 3 unboxed item. Pic 4 and 5 similar set of brakes I fitted to my road bike. Last pic shimano compatibility chart.
