Synchroshift on road bikes will work if you have:
  • Ultegra 6870
  • Ultegra R8050
  • Dura-Ace 9070
  • Dura-Ace r9150
  • GRX
You will also need one of these:
  • Current internal battery BT-DN110
  • BM-DN100 external battery mount
So if you have 6870 Ultegra then all you really need is the newer BM-DN100 battery mount. Or upgrade to the new internal battery, but that'll require more work (and probably replace some electric wires).

Note that you will also need up to date firmware on Ultegra 6870 and that full synchro on the 6870 series is not as great as it could be. The front derailleur somehow limits your switch-from-big-to-small-ring shift point to either of the largest two cogs:


Still, I have been pretty happy with it
