This front mech features a robust alloy construction, which makes it perfect at withstanding all the abuse that comes with blasting across the mountain at speed. Shimano has also kitted out this model with a side-swing side-pull design that decreases problems with tyre clearance and reduces cable friction.

Technologies:
Side Swing: Side swing, side pull front derailleur decrease problems with tyre clearance and reduces cable friction. Designed specifically with modern trail bikes in mind, Shimano side swing technology front derailleurs increases tyre clearance, while cable routing resulting in the lightest shifting action yet.
Wide Pivot Link: Wide pivot link design for greater torsional rigidity improves shifting response and service life.
