Built with Shimano engineering and lightweight Ci4+ construction, this reel combines strength, smooth operation and exceptional casting performance.

Construction and technology

The body and rotor are made from lightweight Ci4+, a highly rigid carbon composite material that reduces weight while maintaining excellent structural strength. This allows the Shimano Ultegra XR XTD to remain stable during powerful casts and while fighting strong fish, while also improving overall comfort during long carp fishing sessions.

Shimano systems

The reel features several advanced Shimano technologies. Hagane Gear provides exceptional durability and long-term reliability under heavy load. Infinity Drive increases cranking efficiency by reducing friction, allowing smoother retrieves when fighting strong fish. X-Ship stabilizes the gear system while Silent Drive eliminates internal play and enhances overall smoothness.

Smoothness and durability

Combined with Parallel Body and Rigid Cast technologies, friction during line release is minimized, allowing anglers to achieve maximum casting distance. The X-Protect sealing system adds additional protection against water and dirt.
