Finished in a matte black coating, this clamp‑on model integrates Shimano’s SIS rear index shifting technology, ensuring crisp gear changes across 6‑ and 7‑speed drivetrains. The SGS cage accommodates a wide gear range, while the 13‑tooth pulleys are crafted from hardened steel to resist wear and minimize chain noise. Dimensions are compact at 6″ L x 4″ W x 2″ H, making it suitable for a variety of frame styles.

FAQ
Is this derailleur compatible with 8‑speed systems?

Yes, the clamp‑on design is intended for frames lacking a hanger. Simply position the clamp over the seat tube and tighten the bolts to secure it.
What maintenance does the derailleur require?
Regular cleaning of the pulleys and occasional lubrication of the pivot points will keep shifting smooth. Inspect the bolts periodically to ensure they remain tight.
Does the black finish affect heat dissipation?
The matte black coating is purely aesthetic and does not impede heat dissipation. Shimano’s internal design manages temperature effectively during normal riding conditions.
Is the derailleur covered by a warranty?
Yes, Shimano offers a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects for a specified period from the date of purchase.
