Di2 Compatibility - mix Ultegra, DURA-ACE, XTR, XT and GRX components
Did you know that you can mix Di2 components from different series and categories? Mixing derailleurs is not recommended, but anything else is fair game!

A pair of shifters is rather light - they weigh 5.8g. The right shifter shifts down the cassette while the left one shifts up the cassette.
