Rear derailleur Shimano DEORE RD-M7200 1x12-speed

Technologies

SHADOW ES – a low-profile design that reduces the forward-facing surface of the rear derailleur. This eliminates protruding edges that could catch on rocks or roots.

HYPERGLIDE+ – a cassette and chain system for mountain bike drivetrains, designed for fast, efficient and smooth shifting in any terrain. The system selects the optimal shift timing and helps adapt to rapidly changing terrain. According to Shimano, shifting time is reduced by one third compared with the previous HG system.
