Developed specifically for 2x11-speed drivetrain systems, the RD-U6040 rear derailleur is significantly more compact than the conventional CUES models. With its sleek design, specifically tailored for road, all-road and gravel bikes, it saves a good 100 grams in weight. The necessary performance is ensured not least by the still sufficiently wide gear range.

Shadow RD | With their sophisticated technology, Shimano Shadow RD rear derailleurs are especially intended for more aggressive riding style. Their super low profile design carries many benefits.
