SHIMANO REAR DERAILLEUR, RD-R8000, ULTEGRA, SS 11-SPEED, SHADOW DESIGN, DIRECT ATTACHMENT, W/OT-RS900(BLACK) 240MM X1, LONG NOSE CAP X1, IND.PACK

SHADOW PROFILE PROTECTS AGAINST DAMAGE.

The Shimano Ultegra RD-R8000 11-speed rear derailleur now also uses the Shadow design, as was previously the case with Dura-Ace. This is an extremely flat profile which, combined with the more direct positioning, reduces the risk of damage and ensures clean, quiet shifting in all conditions. In addition, the direct mount compatibility results in a new mounting option. The Ultegra rear derailleur, which is mainly made of aluminium, is available in two versions: one with a short cage (SS type) for cassettes up to 11-30 and the second with a longer cage (GS type) for cassettes up to a gradation of 11-34. This means that you can cope well even on the steepest climbs.
