SHIMANO Ultegra Rear Derailleur RD-R8000-GS Medium Cage
The middle classes Primus under the switching groups in a new guise! The black and anthracite R8000 component group not only enhances the look of your bike with its striking, coordinated design, but also makes the Ultegra a big step forward technically. This is ensured by the technologies adopted in part by the Dura Ace 9100.
The newly designed RD-R8000 derailleur significantly reduces the operating forces on the lever. Among other things, it ensures the more direct train control of the rear derailleur. Compared to its predecessor, the usual precise and fast gear changes are retained. Thanks to the compact shadow design, the rear derailleur sits closer to the frame. This slim, low-profile design not only looks good, but also protects the rear derailleur from damage in the event of a fall.
For optimal switching performance with all Shimano cassettes, 2 versions of the rear derailleur have been developed. The 8000-SS variant is suitable for cassettes with a largest sprocket up to 30 teeth, while the 8000-GS version works for cassettes with up to 34 teeth.
