6700
First ride + video: Ultegra 6700 groupset
We've seen Ultegra 6700 before, but last time it was pre-production prototypes made of plastic and we had to take Shimano's word for how good it was going to be. This time, however, it was the real deal: a real production groupset fitted to a real bike. 6700 won't hit the shops (or be specced on bikes) until probably the end of August, but on first impressions it's going to be one to look out for... and save your pennies for.

Shimano unveil Ultegra 6700 groupset
It was way back in February when Shimano gave us our first glimpse of the new Ultegra 6700 groupset, but they made us promise not to tell you until today. There was much scratching of heads and shuffling of piles of paper while we dug out all the information we'd 'filed', but now we have we've remembered why we were so excited about 6700 back at the preview.
