The lightweight Ci4+ construction combined with advanced Shimano technologies delivers excellent strength, smooth operation and long lasting durability.

Construction and technology

The body and rotor are built from Ci4+, a lightweight carbon composite material known for its rigidity and strength. This construction significantly reduces overall weight while maintaining structural stability. As a result, Shimano Ultegra XR XSD remains stable during powerful casts and provides excellent control when fighting strong fish.

Shimano systems

The reel incorporates several advanced Shimano technologies. Hagane Gear provides exceptional durability and long term reliability under heavy load. Infinity Drive increases cranking efficiency by reducing internal friction, allowing smoother retrieves when playing large fish. X-Ship stabilizes the gear system, while Silent Drive minimizes internal tolerances to improve smoothness.

Smoothness and durability

Combined with Parallel Body and Rigid Cast technologies, friction during line release is reduced, allowing anglers to achieve longer casting distances. The X-Protect sealing system adds additional protection against water and dirt, increasing durability in demanding fishing conditions.
