Class acts

Shimano’s new Ultegra levers exude comfortably grippy class, with precisely rapid shifts and great feel, they elevate the cockpit feel. The matching derailleurs cement the bike’s immaculate gear changing, and Ultegra’s single-bolt brakes are still excellent stoppers.

The CAAD12 is more than capable of mixing it in competition, or just impressing on every ride with its speed, and that, along with its excellent value makes it hard to beat.
