Ideal for riders maintaining a Shimano Dura-Ace 9070 Di2 road bike who want the correct hood shape and fit rather than a generic substitute.
The Shimano Bracket Cover (ST-9070) is a genuine service part for Shimano ST-9070 road levers. If your current hoods are split from age, scuffed in a crash or have gone hard and slippery over time, replacing them is one of the simplest ways to tidy up an older Dura-Ace Di2 cockpit and restore a more secure hand feel.
For riders still running Dura-Ace 9070 Di2, fresh covers make a real difference where you spend most of your time: on the hoods. That slim 9070 lever shape was widely praised for being easy to grip, especially for riders who like a firm hold when climbing or getting out of the saddle, and the hood surface itself plays a big part in that feel. A new pair helps bring back that cleaner, more controlled contact point.
The key buying point here is straightforward: fit is specific. This cover is for ST-9070 only, not a universal Shimano hood. If your bike uses that lever model, this is the right replacement path. It’s also worth knowing the bracket cover opens around the Di2 connection area on the lever, so careful installation matters if you’re working around existing E-TUBE wiring and bar tape.
Correct fit for ST-9070
Made for Shimano ST-9070 dual control levers, so you get the proper shape and fit for this specific Dura-Ace generation.
Genuine Shimano service part
A proper replacement part for restoring your original lever setup without guessing on fit or finish.
Sold as a pair
You can refresh both levers at the same time for a matched feel and appearance across the cockpit.
Restores hood grip and feel
Fresh covers help replace rubber that has gone slick, stretched or damaged from use, sweat and weather.
Useful after a crash or heavy wear
If one or both hoods are scuffed or torn, this is an easy way to smarten up the bike without replacing the whole lever.
Black finish
Keeps the cockpit looking neat and consistent with the original Dura-Ace lever appearance.
Works with the lever’s access points
The ST-9070 lever design uses the bracket cover around the Di2 connection area, so the right cover matters for proper refit and service access.
General
Compatibility
Great for
Maybe not for
Compatibility is the main sizing point: this bracket cover fits Shimano ST-9070 only. It is sold as a pair. When fitting, allow for the lever’s Di2 wiring layout and the fact that the bracket cover opens around the connector area; if your bar tape overlaps the hood area, plan on re-wrapping the bars.
vs Shimano ST-6870 Bracket Covers
A close Shimano alternative for riders on Ultegra Di2 from the same era, but it is for a different lever family.
vs Shimano ST-R9270 Bracket Covers
The newer Dura-Ace hood option for current 12-speed hydraulic levers, with a much lower listed Australian price from one retailer, but it fits a completely different lever platform.
vs Shimano ST-A070 Bracket Covers
A basic road replacement hood from Shimano’s entry-level range that highlights how model-specific these parts are.
Check the lever model before ordering
The most important step is confirming the code on your lever body. Shimano hood shapes are highly model-specific, and this one is for ST-9070 only.
Best replaced as a pair
Even if only one side is damaged, replacing both covers usually gives the bike a more even feel and cleaner look.
Plan for fresh bar tape if needed
On many road bikes, hood replacement is easier and neater when you unwrap and re-wrap the bar tape rather than trying to work around old tape.
Take care around Di2 wiring
ST-9070 levers use E-TUBE connections at the lever, and the bracket cover opens around that area. Leave enough wire slack and avoid forcing the cover during refit.
