Dura Ace is one of the benchmarks of cycling componentry and the Shimano’s 7900 version is the ‘Tour de France’ tested blingtastic creme de la creme of componentry. From flawless shifting to supremely powerful braking to a super-stiff crankset , Dura Ace 7900 is our current favourite groupset to build our bikes with.
The vast majority of our road bikes are built with Shimano’s super-solid Ultegra 6700. Make no mistake, it’s a lovely quality groupset, but well, it’s just not Dura Ace is it.
Our award winning Dura Ace Pro Carbon build which was priced starting at £1750 compared to the much less costly, incredible value Ultegra 6700 version of £1149 giving a fairly hefty price difference of 600 pounds.
