695grams ultegra vs 630grams dura ace only 65grams diference but the price is double triple.

Thank you again for another amazing video. This was exactly what I was looking for. I just subscribed to your channel and looking forward to more of you videos!

i'm looking to go for the 50/34 combo and been trying to figure out the best return for price! this helps a lot! thanks!

Great comparison and technical comments!! Cheers!

You saved me from needless spending. I like your parting words in this video

Excellent comparison, thank you!

The latest Dura Ace shifters re more adjustable and have a faster nd lighter action hence why i bought a set whereas the rest of the set is fine as R8000 or evne the 6800. The other part really worth swapping out is the front derailler it's work a treat and is very easy to adjust.

It’s all relative if you can get high end DA etc...you get it. If you can’t well you get what you can afford. Just get ride 👍

The Ultegra chainset is 65g more........1 and half small packets of crisps.............at the most! Thanks for this video. Ultegra is definitely the best value (racy) groupset. At the end of the day you're paying for the image because DA is the no.1 groupset in the range so I guess they have to price it highly to make it seem worth it. If it was 25% more to buy, in people's minds it wouldn't feel as desirable. When you charge a very high price (up to a point) it creates exclusivity in people's minds. Anyway, no more rambling......I'm off out for cycle.

I dont know if I missed it but what was the overall weight savings, because im looking to get a stages power meter and upgrade crankset at the same time, if its under 80g weight save I think I would go Ultegra, but dura ace looks so damn nice.

I went with the Dura Ace because I prefer the color.

Sometimes the lighter more expesive cranks have been slightly less stiff but 99.xx precent of us are not monster track sprinters so we will never be able to tell anyways. And me personally ultegra is where I limit my self to as the small weight savings of durace vs the big price jump is money I can spend else where

Dura-Ace for color, but 99.999% of all cyclists and triathletes should just get Ultegra.

Awesome comparison! Thanks...TD Denver, CO

I think you said it best at the end when you told us to go on a diet, carry less water, or less weight in our kits. The very marginal difference between DuraAce and Ultegra isn't worth the price unless you are being sponsored or have money to burn (like my doctor, for example, who charges $200 to walk into your hospital room and ask how you're feeling).

Thanks. Excellent review.

Excellent video, thank you for going through the process of literally showing the difference. At my current level of ability, the difference in weight is negligible and certainly not worth the price. I've made my choice and will going with the Ultegra.

Can you put ultegra chain rings on the dura ace cranks, especially the big one? Got the cranks now but maintenance would be cheaper that way?

Thanks for all these comparison videos! Do you know if the Ultegra 8000 crank arms fit the 9100 chainrings and vice versa?

Another excellent video. Will R8000 Ultegra chain rings fit on a 9100 Dura Ace crankset

I’ll take the Ultregra, plus I think they look much racier. The DA are simply gloss black and the sharp design cues just disappear into the monotone color.

can you fit the entire dura ace crankset onto a ultegra groupset?

hey i have a ribble too

nice video

are the crank arms compatible?

Yeah, I'm a fat old cyclist but my Titanium bike feels faster, aren't there Carbon Fiber or Titanium cranks as well?

Hi Guy, I like the comparison of the venerable shimano dura ace vs ultegra. For someone like me the ultegra would be perfect. The cosmetic appearance of the dura ace is simply beautiful, the high gloss black is rich. If money is not a factor id go for the top end dura ace on looks alone. I'm using a praxis works alba twin ring on a 2019 Specialized Sirrus elite pro carbon bike disk brakes flat bar bike but would like to upgrade my chainring krank set in the near future. Enjoyed your presentation very much. 🚲👍

Is the spindle the same?
