You've seen Simon Richardson's first look at the new Shimano Ultegra R8070 groupset, and now Si is back with his first ride.

A few of Simon's thoughts on the new generation Ultegra:

- Improved ergonomic hydraulic levers now feel very similar to rim brake option
- Synchro and semi-synchro functions for shifting
- Hidden Buttons that you can use to control third party devices
- Alterations for hydraulic disc brake compatibility

Have you ridden the new Ultegra? We would love you hear your thoughts below! 👇
