Shimano Cues RD-U8020 SGS 11 Speed ​​Rear Derailleur

Superior component system for long life: CUES LINKGLIDE RD-U8020 11-speed rear derailleur from Shimano
Create a more active urban lifestyle with the smooth and stable shifting performance of this durable rear derailleur for 2x11-speed systems. Its low-profile design and chain stabilization give riders the confidence to take on more challenging routes. Plus, premium machined aluminum textures showcase the integration of design and engineering.

LINKGLIDE delivers consistently smoother, more even pedaling when shifting gears that you can barely feel at the tips of your feet. LINKGLIDE’s optimized shift gate design provides a smoother transition between gears to prevent jumps that can affect shifting and pedaling smoothness. This design improvement is especially noticeable during outward shifts, where pedaling shock is more pronounced due to the greater forces.

Drivetrain durability is crucial for high-torque e-bikes and everyday riders who may ride in the same gear for months or years. LINKGLIDE delivers smooth, stable shifting that lasts longer than ever before. LINKGLIDE’s redesigned cassette teeth feature a significantly thicker base and a unique chamfer that greatly increases wear resistance in high-torque applications. This increase in cassette durability prolongs smooth ride performance and extends the time until chain skipping due to wear occurs.
