Compatibility Notes

Designed specifically for Shimano Ultegra ST-R8070 Di2 hydraulic road levers.
Not suitable for Shimano mechanical Ultegra ST-R8000 rim brake levers.
Not suitable for Shimano 105, Dura-Ace, GRX, Tiagra or newer 12-speed Di2 levers unless specifically listed as compatible.
Hood shape is lever-specific, so correct model matching is essential.
Best fitted during a bar tape replacement or full cockpit service.

Genuine Shimano Fit

These replacement hoods are shaped to match the body profile of Shimano Ultegra ST-R8070 hydraulic Di2 levers. Correct fit matters because poorly fitting hoods can slip, bunch, expose edges or reduce comfort on long rides.

Textured Rubber Grip

The rubber compound is designed to provide secure hand contact when riding on the hoods, which is the most-used hand position for most road cyclists. The textured surface helps improve grip in sweat, humidity and light rain.

Ergonomic Lever Coverage

The hood shape supports the original Ultegra lever ergonomics, helping maintain the smooth transition from bar tape to lever body. This is important for comfort during climbing, bunch rides, descending and long endurance sessions.

Cockpit Comfort Refresh

Old hoods can become sticky, shiny, stretched, torn or loose. Replacing them can make the bike feel newer, cleaner and more controlled without changing the whole lever assembly.

Ideal During Bar Tape Replacement

Lever hoods are easiest to replace when bar tape is being renewed. A fresh set of hoods paired with new tape can dramatically improve the feel and look of a high-end road cockpit.

Genuine Service Part Value

For riders with expensive Ultegra Di2 hydraulic levers, replacing the hoods is a low-cost way to extend lever life and preserve the premium feel of the cockpit.

Fit Checklist Before Purchase

Before ordering, confirm:

Your lever model is Shimano ST-R8070.
Your bike uses Ultegra Di2 hydraulic road levers, not mechanical levers.
The old hoods are worn, stretched, sticky, torn or faded.
Bar tape replacement is planned if the existing tape blocks hood removal.
Brake hoses and Di2 wires are not damaged around the lever body.
Lever reach, brake bleed and shifter function are working correctly.

Installation Notes

Roll the old rubber hood carefully off the lever body.
Avoid cutting near hydraulic hoses or Di2 wires.
Clean sweat, dirt and residue from the lever body before fitting.
Lightly work the new hood into place, ensuring all edges seat correctly.
Check that buttons, ports and lever movement are not obstructed.
Rewrap bar tape if required.

The Shimano Ultegra ST-R8070 hood cover set is best suited to riders maintaining a Shimano Ultegra Di2 hydraulic road bike who want to restore cockpit comfort, grip and presentation.

Best Suited For

Shimano Ultegra ST-R8070 Di2 riders
Road cyclists replacing worn or sticky lever hoods
Riders doing a bar tape and cockpit refresh

Workshop feedback is consistently positive for genuine Shimano hood covers because original hoods usually fit more securely, feel better in the hand and last longer than many non-genuine alternatives. Mechanics commonly recommend replacing hoods during bar tape services, especially when old hoods have become sticky, loose, polished or torn.

Product Care

Clean hoods regularly with mild bike-safe cleaner and water.
Avoid harsh degreasers, solvents and alcohol-heavy cleaners on rubber.
Wipe sweat and sunscreen residue after hot rides.
Avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure when storing the bike.
Check hood edges are seated properly after servicing.
Replace hoods if they become torn, sticky, loose or slippery.
Inspect hydraulic hoses and Di2 wires when hoods are removed.
Replace bar tape at the same time for the best cockpit refresh.
Avoid forcing sharp tools under the rubber during installation.
Have hoods professionally fitted if unsure.

Warranty Information

Warranty coverage is subject to Shimano or retailer terms and conditions.
Warranty generally applies to manufacturing defects in materials or workmanship.
Normal rubber wear, sweat damage, tearing during installation, chemical damage, crash damage, UV ageing and incorrect fitment are generally not covered.
Hood lifespan depends on riding frequency, sweat exposure, cleaning products, storage conditions and indoor trainer use.
Professional installation is recommended when replacing bar tape, checking Di2 wiring or servicing hydraulic road levers.
