Shimano Ultegra XR XSD 14000 Reel

Shimano Ultegra XR XSD 14000 Reel

The Ultegra XR is the flagship model of Shimano’s popular Ultegra Big-Pit reel family. Equipped with the latest long-distance casting technology, including Rigid Cast, this ultra-light 14000 Big-Pit reel has been designed for long-distance casting. Besides its impressive casting features, it also stands out with a high-quality gear system that ensures smooth operation even under heavy load.

With a sleek design, a large spool, a compact Ci4+ composite body, and some of Shimano’s best long-distance casting technologies, the Ultegra XR leaves nothing to be desired in terms of equipment.

The reel's reduced weight allows the rod tip to accelerate more powerfully during casts, which, combined with Shimano’s other long-distance technologies such as Rigid Cast, further optimizes casting distance.

Inside the lightweight Ci4+ G Free body lies a combination of Hagane Gear, X-Ship, Infinity Drive, and Silent Drive, ensuring smooth and powerful rotation even when the gear system is subjected to high loads during the fight.

Additionally, Shimano’s long-distance technologies, like Super Slow 5 Oscillation, Parallel Body, and Rigid Cast, increase casting distance and maximize accuracy. To enable consistent performance in all weather conditions, X-Protect technology prevents water from entering the reel’s moving parts. The Ultegra XR is also equipped with a Hi-Speed Drag brake, which can be locked with minimal rotation of the drag knob, maintaining control at every moment of the fight.
