The Shimano Ultegra ST-6800 Dual Control Lever Hoods are direct-fit replacement cover boots for Shimano Ultegra ST-6800 STI shifters. Crafted to recapture the feel and ergonomics of fresh hoods, these replacements restore confident lever reach and tactile control for both braking and shifting — especially useful after years of wear, sun exposure, or sticky residue that can degrade grip quality and rider confidence.

Made from a durable rubber compound with textured surfaces on contact points, these hoods improve hand grip and comfort across rides of varying lengths. Their ergonomic shaping aligns with Shimano’s dual-control design, offering a natural, secure feel when riding on the hoods or drops and smoothing transition between braking and shifting actions. The high-quality material also resists wear and weather, helping maintain consistent performance through summer sweat or wet-weather commutes.

Installation is straightforward with basic tools: remove the old hoods from your ST-6800 levers and slide the new ones into place, ensuring they seat fully around the lever bodies. Replacing worn hoods not only refreshes the tactile interface of your cockpit but also helps preserve lever mechanics by keeping grit and moisture out of sensitive pivot areas. For riders looking to renew comfort, control, and shifting confidence, these Ultegra hoods deliver a fresh, reliable feel to your front end.
