The RD-R8000 rear derailleur reduces the effort required at the lever while ensuring 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 smooth shifting even in the highest and steepest mountain 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, providing less damage in case of a fall.

Technology:

Shadow RD

Traditional derailleurs protrude from the bike's profile. With its low-profile design, the Shadow RD is a more compact derailleur that mounts closer to the frame, with a more direct cable routing. The Shadow RD maintains a constant distance from the cassette to increase shifting stability. Its narrower body gives it a sleek and clean look, ensuring less damage in case of a fall.
