Shimano Ultegra FD-R8000 Front Derailleur

Shimano Ultegra FD-R8000 Front Derailleur Info

The Shimano Ultegra 11-speed groupset is a top of the line road system for a solid value that can satisfy the needs of everyone from casual riders to serious road racers. This front derailleur is yet another ultra-reliable piece of that set. It comes in both a braze-on and clamp-on options. The clamp-on type is available in 31.8mm and 34.9mm versions. With trickledown technology from Dura-Ace derailleurs to create a similarly efficient mechanical version. This derailleur is equipped with longer arms, housing the cable anchor bolt for increased leverage with a lighter and stiffer anchor point. Shimano created a more compact design with the Ultegra derailleur, but this did not come at the expense of shift feel. With new linkage to reduce lever throw and create faster shifts, the Ultegra derailleur can perform with the very best on the market.
