Dura-Ace or Ultegra?
03 AUGUST 2026 PEARSON NEWSLETTER MAKING BICYCLES IN LONDON SINCE 1860
It is the question we are asked most often when someone is speccing a road bike. The frame is the same either way, so what you are really choosing is how the bike shifts, what it weighs, and how it feels under your hand on a long day. This month we take our time over it.
Contents of the Newsletter
The newsletter discusses the age-old dilemma of choosing between Shimano Dura-Ace and Ultegra groupsets for road bikes manufactured by Pearson Cycles. It highlights the similarities and differences between the two groupsets, focusing on technology, weight, shifting speed, lever feel, and overall performance.
Products Overview
Pearson offers customized road bikes built around either Dura-Ace or Ultegra groupsets. The bikes feature the same high-quality carbon frame with identical geometry and lifetime warranty, ensuring a consistent riding experience regardless of the chosen groupset.
