Shimano Ultegra FD-R8000 2-/11-speed Front Derailleur

The Ultegra FD-R8000 front derailleur by Shimano - shifting without great effort

With the Shimano Ultegra FD-R8000 front derailleur, you can perform absolutely smooth, reliable shifting operations on a Road bike with mechanical 2x11-speed drivetrains, and all that without much effort. Its design takes the natural performance curve of the hand into account. Thanks to an integrated tensioner, set-up and tension adjustment have never been easier. The Ultegra front derailleur is made of plastic, aluminium and steel and is equally suitable for both rim brake and disc frames. There is one version for braze-ons and two versions for clamp mounts.
