Far And Near Ultegra 6800 Brake Hoods

Far and Near is known for its broad range of affordable aftermarket brake hoods that seamlessly fit most common brake/shift lever combinations, often outperforming original equipment manufacturer (OEM) options.

Crafted from durable rubber that closely mimics the appearance and texture of original OEM hoods, Far and Near's brake hoods offer a budget-friendly replacement of comparable quality. With a variety of colors to choose from, you can easily match your bike's aesthetics, no matter how unique your setup.

Each set comprises two hoods, one for the left and one for the right, meticulously designed to fit Shimano Ultegra 6800 11-speed levers.

INSTALLATION

To achieve the best results, it's advisable to detach your levers from the handlebars before installing the hoods. This precaution prevents potential damage to the hoods as they slide over the lever.

For smooth installation, a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol is effective, providing lubrication and a tacky grip when it dries. Alternatively, a mild soap solution can be used for lubrication and the desired tacky effect. Hairspray is also an option, but it dries quickly, necessitating a swift installation.

Please note that these hoods are not compatible with Shimano Ultegra Di2 6870 series 11-speed shift/brake levers.
