Reviews over the

Shimano Ultegra R8000

super no

I bought this crankset to improve my road bike. It is 250gr. lighter than the serial crankset, but it could be a little bit more lighter.

Pros & Cons

Assembly went very smoothly. Finished in 15 minutes.

Pros & Cons

easy to mount

Pros & Cons

Simply the best crankset for a cyclist like me who regularly rides for leisure.

Pros & Cons

This is an amazing bit of kit, continuing the excellence of the Ultegra brand within the Shimano range. Excellent shifting performance. The only down-side for me, is the apparent fragility of the coating/finish, which looks _so_ good when you take it out of the box. Unfortunately on my first ride out after fitting, my front mech over-shifted and the brand new (SRAM Red) chain, slipped across the surface of the chainset towards the crank-arm. The resultant scratching to the chainset surface was shocking (see photo), just after one half to a full revolution, until I realised the chain was off. Whilst this is - hopefully - an exceptional mechanical issue, I worry for the longevity of the coating/finish over the typical life of this, otherwise amazing, chainset. Excellent ordering and delivery/service from Mantel! You were recommended to me by a friend and I will certainly be coming back.
