Shimano CUES Shadow Plus RD-U6000 10-/11-speed Rear Derailleur

Shimano RD-U6000 10-/11-speed rear derailleur from the CUES series - With Shadow Plus technology for MTB use

The Shimano CUES RD-U6000 rear derailleur is suitable for 1x10-speed and 1x11-speed Linkglide drivetrains for sporty mountain bike and touring use. It has a so-called Shadow Plus chain stabiliser, which prevents the chain from slapping even on rough ground and thus counteracts chain drop. The flat design and smooth function also contribute to safe, efficient biking, whether on forest soil, gravel or asphalt. The rear derailleur has a total capacity of 39 teeth and is only compatible with 1-speed gears, with the largest cassette sprocket having a maximum of 50 and a minimum of 48 teeth. To save weight, apart from the steel cage, most parts are made of aluminium. RD-U6000 is approved for e-bikes and impresses with long-lasting performance in this area as well.

Guidelines for Replacing E-bike Components:

Technology:

Shadow RD+
Shadow Plus rear derailleurs are just as low-profile as Shimano's Shadow rear derailleurs. In addition, a stabilizer with on/off switch is used to reduce chain slap and thus counteract chain drop. At the same time, this results in a quieter drive. Weight is also saved compared to other chain restraint devices.
