Genuine Shimano OEM Fit
These bracket covers are shaped to match the original Shimano ST-6800-style lever body. The correct OEM fit helps prevent bunching, twisting or loose edges, which can happen with incorrect or generic hoods.
Ergonomic Road Lever Feel
The hood shape supports common road hand positions, including riding on the hoods, climbing seated, climbing out of the saddle, braking from the hoods and cruising on longer endurance rides.
Grippy Rubber Surface
Fresh rubber hoods improve hand contact and control, especially when compared with old hoods that have become shiny, sticky, slippery or cracked from sweat, sun exposure and regular use.
Factory-Correct Black Finish
The black finish gives a clean Shimano cockpit look and suits most road bikes, including alloy and carbon frames, classic Shimano 11-speed builds and performance commuter setups.
Practical Service Replacement
Replacing lever hoods is one of the easiest ways to make an older road bike feel newer. It improves grip, hygiene, comfort and presentation without replacing the full shifter assembly.
Ideal With New Bar Tape
These covers pair perfectly with fresh handlebar tape. A full cockpit refresh with new hoods and bar tape can dramatically improve a bike’s feel, especially on older Shimano Ultegra, 105 and Tiagra setups.
