Description

Purebred pedigree.

Redesigning their Ultegra groupset to bring the pro-proven performance of the Dura Ace 9100 series to a more affordable price, the Shimano Ultegra FD-R8000-F Braze On Front Derailleur provides the features of the 9100 groupset with only a marginal gain in weight. Perhaps the biggest improvement is the R9100's new Link construction, that matches the force curve of the hand more naturally, reducing the effort required for shifting while simultaneously providing a lighter shift action.

Designed with ease of use in mind, the Shimano Ultegra FD-R8000-F Braze On Front Derailleur sets up easy, and roadside maintenance can now be done without any specialized tools thanks to integrated cable tension adjustments.

Claimed weight: 92 grams.

This Ultegra FD-R8000-F Braze On Front Derailleur is only compatible with braze on compatible frames. The unit comes with a curved frame plate for secure installation. If you need a clamped front derailleur, the FD-R8000-B Front Derailleur will be compatible. If you need help deciding what is compatible with your frame, feel free to Contact Us, and we'll be happy to help.

Fast, Smooth, Reliable Shifting
rating
by Gary

This is by far the best front derailleur I've ever used. Shifts are lightening fast, silky smooth, and absolutely reliable. It was a little tricky to cable -- after passing through the pinch bolt, the cable wraps around the front of the housing then passes through the protective cap and back toward the rear wheel -- but once I figured out the cabling and adjusted the stops, it works great. Shifting is effortless and precise, and the price was very reasonable given the derailleur's quality. I highly recommend this derailleur. Get it -- you won't regret it!

Excellent upgrade - Smooth and precise
rating

This was an upgrade from a Shimano 105 on my wife's bike. (Guys/gals, jump on your partner's bike sometime and see what feels right/wrong... it's amazing what you don't know about their riding experience.) This Ultegra R8000 braze-on front derailleur is so much smoother and precise than the previous one. I'm an amateur bike mechanic, so no pro, but it was very easy to install and adjust this derailleur on the braze-on mount. The price was great, and the improvement in performance would have been worth twice the price!

Okay, not great
rating

This front derailleur isn�t like installing your basic front D. Once you�ve done tinkering with it, it�s fine, but installing it is a pain. I wouldn�t say it shifts better than any shifter I�ve had because it doesn�t.

It�s ok, but not great

Such a great FD
rating
by CDnote

I upgraded from integration 6800 to 8000 when my old 6800 FD broke.

It was a great decision. The 8000 is so much more adjustable and manages the cable. Instead of having to fix the the cable just right to keep it from rubbing on your tire, the new model has a plastic cap which routes the cable backwards in a reliable way.

The auto tension is the other big change. After fixing the cable you tune up the cable tightness with a few turns of an Allen key. So much easier.
