Is Ultegra 6600 Good?

New R8000 in a nutshell Everything in the Ultegra R8000 groupset is new, and yet, so much of it is familiar and seen before with Dura-Ace. Running on an approximate three-year product lifecycle, the latest generation of Ultegra was released in time for the 2018 season.

Is the Shimano Ultegra 6800 a good bike?
Shimano’s 11-speed Ultegra 6800 groupset is really, really, really good. That’s this review in a nutshell, but in the spirit of drawing things out I’ll write a few more words on the matter. There’s lots to say.
What is the difference between the new Ultegra 6600 and 6600 cranks?
Relative to 6600, the new Ultegra crank sports an edgier, more aggressive shape reminiscent of the new Dura-Ace. Though the hollow-forged aluminium arms don’t feel any stiffer under power (nor do Shimano claim they are), the spider is much deeper and combines with the newly carbon-reinforced hollow outer ring for massive chainring rigidity.
How stiff is the Ultegra 6700 chain?
Where the Dura Ace chainring uses two Aluminium plates the Ultegra chainset utilises a composite inner plate. We tested the compact 50/34 version, which runs on the now ubiquitous outboard bearings. With Hollowtech II crank arms, a Hollowglide chainset and external bearings you’d expect the 6700 chainset to be stiff, and it is. Really stiff.
Why would Shimano want to bring the level of Ultegra SL up?
You may be forgiven for asking why Shimano would want to bring the level of Ultegra SL up so high and so close to its flagship Dura-Ace groupset. Our best guess is that it is to create the launch pad for the next generation Dura-Ace. Ultegra SL is a winner and is already specced on some tasty bikes for 2008.
