Shimano Deore RD-M5100 SGS – 11-speed rear derailleur, Shadow+, black

Shimano Deore RD-M5100 – rear derailleur

The rear derailleur is a key part of the drivetrain responsible for moving the chain between the cassette sprockets, allowing you to change gear while riding. The M5100 model from Shimano's Deore line is designed for 11-speed systems and belongs to the mid-range, proven class of mountain components.

Shadow+ technology

The derailleur features Shadow+ technology, a chain-stabilizing mechanism (clutch) that reduces chain vibration and noise on rough terrain and lowers the risk of the chain dropping when riding in difficult terrain. The SGS version means a long cage, suited to a wider range of cassette gears.

Construction

The derailleur body is made of aluminum, and it mounts with a clamp in the standard rear derailleur hanger of the bike frame. The construction is weather resistant, which matters when riding in rain, mud or dust.

Use

The derailleur is designed for mountain bikes with an 11-speed drivetrain and works as a replacement for a worn or damaged mechanism, improving the precision and reliability of shifting off-road.
