Shimano XTR FD-M9000 3-/11-speed Front Derailleur

The XTR front derailleur FD-M9000 by Shimano - more powerful and easier to use

Thanks to Shimano XTR FD-M9000 front derailleurs, XTR 3x11 riders benefit from the advantages of side-swing technology, which further enhances the already high performance of the Dyna-Sys11 system. With side-swing and front-pull cable routing, both shifting efficiency and operating forces are significantly improved. The new design also results in more distance between the seat tube and the tyre. The FD-M9000 is completely made of aluminium and therefore weighs only between 100 and 130 grams. Choose between the mounting options high clamp, low clamp, direct mount and E-type.

Technology:

Dyna-Sys11
Dyna-Sys11 is the name of the 11-speed shifting system for MTBs from Shimano. The focus lies on maintaining the pedalling rhythm both on flat ground and on uphill segments. The gear ratios are selected so that you make efficient progress in the most frequently used gear range and do not have to shift gears as much (" Rhythm Step" ).

Side-Swing
The Shimano Side-Swing front derailleurs are controlled from the front (Front-Pull), which allows for much more efficient cable routing. This significantly improves shifting performance, especially when shifting to the large chainring - with lower operating forces. Other advantages include increased tyre clearance thanks to the slimmed-down design and noise reduction thanks to the optimised chainstay angle. In addition, Side-Swing technology favours the construction of frames with shorter chainstays, which simplify the control of the bike.
