The Deore M6100 Shadow Plus 12-speed rear derailleur is awesome value for money and offers dependable shifting performance and durability. The SLX and XT options are a bit flashier but because the performance from the Deore is so close to those we feel that for a majority of people this is the better option.

Shadow plus features a super low profile design and optimized slant angle for super light shifting action. Shadow Plus uses a chain stabilising switch that when on will reduce chain bounce in rough terrain maintaining more stable drive and shifting. The single tension spring prevents contact with the chainstay resulting in a silent ride
