Top Normal Return Spring The derailleur features the “Low-normal” return spring that enhances inward shifts, especially in varying severe terrain, and lends to incredibly intuitive operation when combined with XTR dual control shifters.
Dual control compatible The smooth and highly accurate shifting efficiency reacts precisely to the exact movement of the Dual Control lever.
High Rigidity Outer Link The outer link embraces the pulley body to increase pivot joint rigidity. It not only provides more positive shifting action, but looks good too!
11-tooth Sealed Bearing Pulleys 11-tooth pulleys with sealed bearing run quieter and wear longer due to alternating tooth contact between inner and outer chain plates. Snap-ring retainers ensure that the pulley bolts remain tight.
Mega-9 Compatible Designed for precision indexed 9-speed shifting performance. Also compatible with 8-speed systems.
Low friction Pivot Bushings Four fluorine coated link pivot bushings reduce friction for a more responsive shifting action.
Detachable Rubber Bumper In order not to damage the bicycle frame, the plate body is equipped with the detachable rubber bumper.
