The Shimano Ultegra SM-BBR60 is a threaded bottom bracket for frames with a 70 mm Italian-threaded shell. It is designed for HOLLOWTECH II crank systems, with the bearings positioned outboard to support efficient power transfer and smooth crank rotation.
For day-to-day riding, the appeal is straightforward: a proven replacement that keeps the drivetrain turning freely without unnecessary complexity. The sealed bearing area helps guard against dirt and moisture, while the compact bearing design keeps weight to a claimed 100 g.
Choose the SM-BBR60 when you need a dependable Shimano bottom bracket for an ITA-threaded road or performance bike. Take care with fit before ordering: this model is for ITA threading and 70 mm shells, not every threaded frame standard. Installation may also require the appropriate Shimano HOLLOWTECH II bottom-bracket tool; a supplied plastic adapter can allow use with older compatible tools.
An ideal choice for anyone replacing a worn bottom bracket on an ITA-threaded frame fitted with Shimano HOLLOWTECH II cranks.
ITA threaded fit
Made for frames with a 70 mm Italian-threaded bottom-bracket shell, so confirm your frame standard before purchase.
HOLLOWTECH II compatible

Outboard bearing arrangement
Positions the bearings outside the shell to support efficient power transfer and smooth crank rotation.
Sealed bearing area
High-precision sealing helps limit contamination reaching the bearings during regular riding.
Ultegra-level replacement
A sensible, dependable replacement when your existing threaded HOLLOWTECH II bottom bracket feels rough, gritty or worn.
Low claimed weight
At a claimed 100 g, it adds little unnecessary mass to a performance-oriented build.
Installation adapter included
The included plastic adapter can provide compatibility with older Shimano HOLLOWTECH II installation tools.
