What is the Shimano Ultegra ST-R8000 STI Lever Hood Replacement Set for?

The Shimano Ultegra ST-R8000 | 105 ST-R7000 STI Lever Hoods - Pair is the genuine Shimano replacement hood set for worn, torn, or fading rim brake STI levers. Sold as a left and right pair, these black rubber covers restore the factory grip texture and finish to ST-R8000 Ultegra and ST-R7000 105 mechanical 11-speed shifters. Installing OEM hoods returns the lever to spec for fit, feel, and cosmetics, with no aftermarket guesswork.

Compatible with ST-R8000-L, ST-R8000-R, ST-R7000-L, and ST-R7000-R rim brake mechanical levers. Not for hydraulic disc brake STI bodies. A small amount of rubbing alcohol on the inside of the cover during install helps the rubber slide cleanly over the bracket; once seated and dried, the fit is snug and stays put. This is the right call for riders refreshing a high-mileage Ultegra or 105 cockpit before a new season.
