Sometimes the difference between cleaning a section or not is a well-timed, perfectly executed shift.

Where shift levers command, derailleurs respond. Now featuring at SLX lever, Shimano’s SHADOW RD+ technology provides sharp and silky shifts along with chain stability and a reduction in chain slap thanks to a lockable rear derailleur position. The medium cage 11-speed rear derailleurs (RD-M7000 GS)  for 1x11- and 2x11-speed systems offer a drivetrain capacity of 41-teeth.
