Refresh the feel of your Shimano road bike with Genuine Shimano Replacement Bracket Covers (Hoods) for 12-Speed Di2 Shifters. Over time, brake hoods naturally become smooth, stretched or worn from exposure to sweat, UV light and thousands of kilometres on the bike. Replacing them restores the secure grip, comfort and premium feel your Shimano Dual Control levers were designed to deliver. 

Manufactured from Shimano’s durable rubber compound, these genuine replacement hoods provide the same ergonomic shape, texture and fit as the originals. Installation is straightforward, making them one of the easiest ways to make your cockpit feel like new without replacing expensive shifters.

Available for both Ultegra Di2 ST-R8170 and Dura-Ace Di2 ST-R9270/ST-R9250 models, each pair is designed for a precise OEM fit with no compromise in comfort or performance. 

Expected Lifespan

Shimano brake hoods are consumable components and should be replaced once grip, comfort or fit begins to deteriorate.

Typical lifespan is:

• 15,000–30,000 km for most road cyclists
• 10,000–20,000 km for riders who frequently ride in hot climates, race regularly or perspire heavily
• Replace sooner if the rubber becomes slippery, stretched, cracked or torn

Fresh hoods improve confidence, especially when riding in wet weather or during long descents where grip and control are critical.
