The premium entry-level group offers a wide range of applications and proven race performance, alongside many similarities with the top groups. Shimano 105 has always marked the entry into the realm of high-quality, race-inspired component groups. With the new 105, this definition is now significantly broadened to include the high level of user-friendliness and customizability needed for a wide range of uses. The new PD-R7000 pedal, made from carbon composite material and featuring a wide stainless steel platform, provides excellent propulsion and does not have to shy away from high-end siblings like Dura-Ace or Ultegra. The wide bearing spacing allows for even load distribution. Additionally, the adjustable release tension and maintenance-free compact bearing guarantee the highest level of comfort.
