8/29/2023 0 Comments Shimano 105 groupset historyIf you are considering upgrading the 105 group set on a new bike to Ultegra, you are better off paying the extra money for a bike that comes with Ultegra standard. Ultegra increases your coolness factor in the pack, and increases the bike’s resale value. If you are deciding between a bike with a 105 or Ultegra group set, then spend the extra money for the Ultegra if you plan on doing any racing and if you can afford it. Finally, Ultegra offers a greater range of both high and low gears than 105, providing the rider with a climbing gear for steep grades, and a high gear for downhill speed. Also, according to Shimano’s website Ultegra’s wider crankset design permits frame manufacturers to build wider bottom brackets-the part between the pedals inside the frame-and thus stiffer frames. Ultegra components are also stiffer, meaning that the bike doesn’t “flex” under the load of hard pedaling, wasting energy.
