SHIMANO SHADOW RD+

New mechanism rear derailleur, SHIMANO SHADOW is

 

intended for more aggressive riding. Its super low profile design carries many benefits. Because of its low profile and single tension construction, the derailleur doesn't hit the chain stay in rough riding conditions.

 

The result is smooth and silent performance.

 

Deep SHADOW Rear Derailleur

 

 In addition, SAINT RD-M810 rear derailleur is designed to be more compact than XTR or XT. The new rear derailleur tucks in to the dropout area to escape contact with obstacles and prevents chain troubles for matching up with the extreme riding such as downhill and freeride.
