About the product
Shimano CUES RD-U8000 – rear derailleur, 11-speed
The Shimano CUES RD-U8000 is a high-quality rear derailleur for 1×11-speed gear systems, equipped with LINKGLIDE and Shadow RD+ technology. It is designed for smooth, precise and long-lasting shifting, even in everyday use and high-torque e-bikes.
The low-profile design reduces the risk of damage to the derailleur from impacts and obstacles, while the chain stabilizer reduces the risk of chain slippage, chain contact with the frame, and noise. The 13-tooth guide pulleys reduce friction and contribute to efficient drivetrain operation.
