The Shimano CUES RD-U8000 LINKGLIDE 1 x 11-speed rear derailleur with SHADOW RD+ technology convinces with smooth and reliable shifting performance. This durable rear derailleur for 1x11 drivetrains offers smooth, defined shifting, perfectly suited to an active urban lifestyle. The flat design and chain stabilization offer generous safety reserves even on the roughest terrain. Furthermore, the high-quality surface structure of the CNC-machined aluminum conveys the integration of design and technology. LINKGLIDE allows for smoother, smoother pedaling and barely perceptible gear changes. The optimized design of the LINKGLIDE shifting aids ensures a smoother transition between sprockets to avoid skipping that can compromise shifting and pedaling fluidity. This design improvement is especially noticeable when upshifting, as the downshift is more noticeable due to the larger forces. Drivetrain durability is critical for high-torque e-bikes and everyday riders who use the same gear for months or years. LINKGLIDE allows for smooth, fast shifting and lasts longer than ever. The redesigned LINKGLIDE cassette teeth have a much thicker base and a unique chamfer that greatly improves wear resistance in high-torque applications. This increase in cassette life extends the smoothness and time before chain skipping occurs due to wear.
