These Shimano Ultegra BR-6500 dual-pivot rim brake calipers represent the 9-speed Ultegra generation at its finest — a polished, silver aluminum construction that delivers excellent stopping power with a refined feel that serious road riders appreciate. The model number BR-6500 is clearly stamped on the inner face, confirming this as the highly regarded 6500-series Ultegra, made in Japan. The calipers feature Shimano's dual-pivot geometry for superior modulation and power over single-pivot designs, along with the classic quick-release lever and tool-free pad adjustment hardware. Brake pads show moderate wear but are still functional, and the caliper arms and pivot hardware are clean with only light signs of use. This set is an excellent choice for a vintage road build, a period-correct restoration, or any rider who wants proven Shimano performance with classic silver aesthetics.

Every item from Traveling Ground is fully refurbished, professionally inspected, and ships next business day.
