Shimano Ultegra RD-R8000-SS / 11s Rear Derailleur

Description

The RD-R8000 rear derailleur reduces the effort required at the lever, and at the same time guarantees safety, speed and precision. The group offers two specific rear derailleurs: one for 11-25 and 11-30 cassettes and one for 11-28 and 11-34 cassettes; ensuring a smooth ride even in the highest and steepest mountainous areas. Thanks to the integrated Shadow RD technology, with its race-proven low profile design, the derailleur is more compact and closer to the frame, ensuring less damage in the event of a fall.

Technology

Shadow RD
Traditional derailleurs protrude from the profile of the bicycle. With its low-profile design, the Shadow RD is a more compact derailleur that mounts closer to the frame, with a more direct cable route. The Shadow RD maintains a constant distance from the cassette to increase shifting stability. Its narrow body width gives it an elegant and clean appearance, ensuring less damage in the event of a fall.
