Product Information
Full details
The Shimano Ultegra Di2 ST-R8060 is designed specifically for performance-oriented time trial and triathlon cyclists who demand precision and aerodynamic efficiency. By integrating electronic shifting directly into the brake lever, it enables riders to change gears instantly without leaving their aero position, significantly improving cadence management and overall race speed; however, users should note that this unit is exclusively for 2x11 speed Di2 systems and requires compatibility with existing E-Tube electronic wiring infrastructure.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this shifter compatible with 12-speed Di2 systems?
No, the ST-R8060 is specifically designed for 11-speed Di2 systems and is not backward or forward compatible with 12-speed components.
Does this shifter include the brake cable?
This unit is the electronic shifting component; standard brake cables and housings are required for the braking function.
Can I program the shift buttons?
Yes, using the Shimano E-Tube software, you can reassign the switch functions to suit your preferred shifting logic.
Is the ST-R8060 waterproof?
It is highly water-resistant and designed for all-weather riding, but it should not be submerged or sprayed directly with high-pressure hoses.
Does this come with a wire?
The shifter unit generally does not include the E-Tube wire, which must be purchased separately based on the specific length required for your frame and bar setup.
Troubleshooting
Shifter is unresponsive when buttons are pressed
Check the E-Tube wire connection at the lever and the junction box. If the wire is secure, verify that the battery is charged and that the shifter is properly detected in the E-Tube software.
System will not perform synchronized shifts
Connect the bike to the E-Tube software via a PC or mobile device to verify that Synchronized Shifting is enabled in the configuration settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard E-Tube wiring (EW-SD50) connected to the central junction box. Ensure the firmware is updated via the E-Tube Project app to enable all features, including Synchronized Shifting. When cleaning, avoid high-pressure water near the electronics. Wipe the levers down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Periodically check that all E-Tube connections are fully seated in their ports to ensure a stable electrical signal. Avoid using harsh chemical degreasers that could degrade the plastic housings or electronic seals.
