SHIMANO DURA-ACE: Evolved Di2 Platform and Technology

DURA-ACE R9200’s new Di2 platform showcases Shimano’s most advanced drivetrain technology and shifting performance to date. DURA-ACE delivers 58% faster rear shifting and 45% faster front shifting compared to the current wired R9100 Di2 system. Shimano’s wireless Di2 processing technology, developed in house by Shimano, increases transmission speed and performance, offering reliable, fast shifts every single time. Further Di2 refinements include a charging port and D-FLY wireless connectivity integrated into the rear derailleur.

Shimano DURA-ACE R9200 is wired where it makes sense, featuring a central, multi-port battery that supplies stable, long-lasting power to both front and rear derailleurs. New smaller diameter SD300 wires connect directly from the battery to each derailleur, eliminating the need for junctions and simplifying the build process. The central internal battery also simplifies charging and remains secure over the roughest of roads.

 

SHIMANO DURA-ACE: The Most Advanced Drivetrain 

The new R9200 DURA-ACE drivetrain provides faster, smoother shifting with Shimano’s proven HYPERGLIDE+ drivetrain technology. Developed first for mountain bike applications, HYPERGLIDE+ improves shifting both up and down the cassette, even under maximum pedaling load.

The new 12-speed DURA-ACE drivetrain features optimized gearing options that are engineered for performance and speed without sacrificing drivetrain efficiency. Sticking with 11-tooth small cogs enhances drivetrain efficiency while also retaining compatibility with current 11-speed Shimano freehub bodies. No new standards or proprietary wheel parts necessary.

At the request of WorldTour teams, the DURA-ACE R9200 crankset features an optional 54- 40T chainring combination. More efficient than smaller options, the 54-40T is the best response to the ever-increasing speeds of racing’s top tier.

With 11-30 and 11-34 cassette options, DURA-ACE riders now have even lower climbing gears so that no matter your riding level, you can experience the best road performance available. Despite even wider gear ranges, smooth, consistent gear steps remain a Shimano hallmark

thanks to the addition of the 12th cog. Keeping things simple, the R9200 rear derailleur is offered with a single cage length that is compatible with the entire range of R9200 cassettes.

The DURA-ACE R9200 drivetrain employs the same 12-speed chain used on the Shimano XTR M91000 series, simplifying inventory requirements for retailers and riders.
