Shimano 105 Shadow RD-R7000 11-speed Rear Derailleur

The 105 RD-R7000 Rear Derailleur by Shimano - Higher safety thanks to Shadow profile

With the Shimano 105 RD-R7000 11-speed rear derailleur, fans of Shimano mid-range road bike components can now also benefit from the advantages of the Shadow design. This is an extra-low construction that reduces the likelihood of damage, stabilises shifting operations even on non-asphalt surfaces and, last but not least, benefits from a compact appearance. The rear derailleur, which is largely made of aluminium, also impresses with its broad compatibility. In the SS version with short cage you can shift 11-25 to 11-30 cassettes, in the GS version with longer cage it is even suitable for 11-34. A direct mount option is also available.

Technology:

Shadow RD
Shadow rear derailleurs from Shimano have a very flat profile, allowing for a more aggressive riding style by minimising the risk of getting stuck on obstacles. In addition, the single preload ensures that the rear derailleur does not hit the chain stay even on very uneven ground. All of this contributes to a quiet, clean-operating gearshift.

OT-RS900
For Dura-Ace, Ultegra, 105, GRX and other 11-speed or 12-speed road and gravel rear derailleurs, Shimano has developed the special OT-RS900 cable housing. It is less stiff than the conventional OT-SP41 housing and is therefore better suited to the tight curve where the cable is routed from the frame to the rear derailleur. Thanks to OT-RS900, problems with the barrel adjuster can be prevented and the rear wheel can be removed more easily. OT-RS900 is not intended for use on the shift/brake lever side.
