Shimano Deore XT FD-M8020 Front Derailleur 2x11-speed Clamp Side-Swing

Shimano has built a worldwide reputation in the mountain bike shifting sector with its Deore XT group. The new XT group has been completely redesigned and optimized, featuring the Side Swing technology.

The Side Swing technology offers a significant improvement in shifting performance. It has been specifically developed with modern trail bikes in mind, providing 15 mm more clearance between the seat tube and tire, while the completely revised and optimized cable routing and actuation reduce the force required for shifting.

The multi-adapter allows for mounting on tubes with diameters of 28.6 and 31.8 mm. Without the adapter, the derailleur is suitable for 34.9 mm. The cable entry for Shimano derailleurs with Side Swing technology is located at the front. Therefore, the shift cable must be routed internally or above the down tube.
