The Shimano CUES RD-U8020 LINKGLIDE 2 x 11 speed rear derailleur with SHADOW RD+ technology impresses with smooth and reliable shifting performance. This durable rear derailleur for 2x11 drivetrains offers smooth and precise shifting, perfectly suited for an active urban lifestyle. The flat design and chain stabilization provide ample safety reserves even on rough terrain. Additionally, the high-quality CNC-machined aluminum surface structure conveys the integration of design and technology. LINKGLIDE enables a smoother and more fluid pedaling experience with barely noticeable gear changes. The optimized design of the LINKGLIDE shifting aids ensures smoother transitions between sprockets to prevent skips that can compromise shifting and pedaling fluidity. This design improvement is especially noticeable when shifting up, as the gear jump is more pronounced due to higher forces. Drivetrain durability is crucial for high-torque e-bikes and everyday riders who use the same gear for months or years. LINKGLIDE allows for smooth and fast shifting and lasts longer than ever. The redesigned LINKGLIDE cassette teeth have a much thicker base and a unique chamfer that significantly improves wear resistance in high-torque applications. This increased cassette durability extends smoothness and delays chain skips caused by wear.
