Shimano Ultegra XR 14000 XSD Reel (x2)

Shimano Ultegra XR 14000 XSD Reel (x2)

The Ultegra XR XSD sits proudly at the top of Shimano’s most popular Ultegra Big Pit/Surfcasting reel family. Packed with the latest long range casting technology including Rigid Cast, this insanely lightweight 14000 sized reel has been specifically designed to maximise rod speed when long range casting, whilst retaining smoothness under high winding loads.

The Ultegra XR XSD reel is the ideal choice for surfcasting anglers seeking impressive long-distance casts. With its upper mid-range price tag, it offers excellent value for money. Designed with understated colors, a large spool, and a compact body made of Ci4+ composite, this reel embodies durability and functionality. Shimano's top long-range casting technology, combined with features like Rigid Cast, ensures consistent and remarkable casting distances. Its lightweight design allows for faster rod speeds, enabling surfcasters to push their limits and reach distant feeding grounds with ease. The Ultegra XR reel is the perfect companion for surfcasting enthusiasts, delivering exceptional performance and reliability.

The Ultegra XR reel is specifically designed to cater to the needs of surfcasting anglers, providing them with a range of benefits for their fishing experience. Encased within the lightweight CI4+ body, this reel incorporates a combination of advanced technologies such as HAGANE Gear, X-SHIP, INFINITY DRIVE, and SILENT DRIVE. These features work harmoniously to deliver smooth and powerful rotation, even when faced with extreme pressure and heavy loads.

When it comes to long-range casting, the Ultegra XR excels with Shimano's leading-edge technology. The inclusion of Super Slow 5 Oscillation, Parallel Body, and Rigid Cast contributes to increased casting distance and superior accuracy. These enhancements allow surfcasting anglers to reach those distant hotspots with ease and achieve precise targeting.
Furthermore, the Ultegra XR is equipped with X-Protect technology, ensuring all-weather protection for the reel. This innovative feature prevents water from infiltrating the reel's moving parts, guaranteeing optimal performance regardless of the conditions faced on the surfcasting journey.
To provide precise control during fish-playing, the Ultegra XR is fitted with a Hi-Speed drag. Anglers can effortlessly lock or loosen the drag with minimal rotation of the adjustment knob, allowing for accurate adjustments and control at all times.
In summary, the Ultegra XR XSD reel offers surfcasting anglers a multitude of advantages. From its durable construction and smooth rotation to its long-range casting capabilities, all-weather protection, and precise fish-playing control, this reel is a reliable and high-performing companion for surfcasting adventures.

Hagane gear

The Hagane Drive Gear is produced by Shimano's coldforging technology, without the need for additional machining. This delivers a longlasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel. Traditional diecast, machined gears are less durable under heavy loads. 

X-Ship

X SHIP provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This increased support allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. X-Ship technology also eliminates the friction between the spool shaft and gear to further benefit anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.

Hagane Body

The Hagane Body is produced from highrigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The result is a rocksolid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficienty throughout the reel.

Infinity Drive 

Infinity Drive is a new construction that eliminates sliding resistance and realizes light winding in both load and no-load conditions. Infinity Drive is a non-contact construction where the inside of the pinion gear does not touch the main shaft. This reduction in sliding resistance is achieved by the application of a special low friction bushing which holds the main shaft and in addition a by the application of a special surface treatment to the main shaft itself. Handle roatation torque is reduced by approximately 30% compared to the conventional X-Ship construction.

Silent Drive

Removed 'clicking' sound and 'hand play' and overall improved smooth reeling.

X Protect

The contact type triplelip strucutre is introduced to the roller clutch, the pivotal point concerning water resistance. In this structure, the first lip prevents water from entering through the space between the rotor and the body. In addition, the special grease between the second and third lip where it makes contact will the rotor collar located at the upper part of the roller clutch not only resists water from entering but also minimizes friction resistance. Without jeopardizing the 'silky smooth rotation capacity', the vital feature of Stalla SW, exceptionnal water resistance, has been achieved to withstand the crashing and splashing of waves and spray.

Rigid Cast

Rigid Cast technology balances strenght and lightness of the main shaft to withstand the impact of extreme castingforce.

Parallel Body

PARELLEL BODY is designed to improve dynamic line flow from the reel. On many reels the spool is aligned slightly upwards towards the rod blank, but reels with PARELLEL BODY have the spool located parallel to the blank. The result: less line slapping on the blank as it travels towards the first guide during the cast, ultimately increasing performance.

Cl4 Plus

Cl4+ is an advanced version of the original Cl4. This highly technical material is 2.5 times stiffer than Cl4 and is used on many highend Shimano reels to increase weight savings. Use of Cl4+ for the body and rotor also delivers remarkable stiffness for better reel efficiency.

Hi-Speed Drag

The "Hi-Speed Drag" is the fastest drag function ever featured on a Shimano reel. Only a very small turn on the drag knob will transit the drag settings from 'free spool mode' to the 'fight mode'.

G Free Body

G FREE BODY technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the angler’s hand, the G FREE BODY helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

AR-C Spool

The spool has a special spool ring shape. This creates a rectifying effect on the line and realizes both suppression of line trouble and long casting performance.

S-ARB

Shimano S ARB bearings are high corrosion resistant ARB ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust.

One Piece Bail

The onepiece bail wire has no gap for line to snag on during normal operation. Made of Stainless Stell, it reduces friction and allows the line to get onto the line roller quicker.
