Shimano 105 Medium Cage RD-R7000-GS Rear Derailleur 11-speed

The new 105 R7000 components are not only visually oriented towards their big siblings Dura Ace R9100 and Ultegra R8000, but also from a technical point of view some features of the top groups have been adopted. With a variety of translation options and the choice between rim and disc brakes, it is just as suitable for everyday drivers as for racing use.

The newly designed RD-R7000 rear derailleur significantly reduces the operating forces on the lever. Among other things, it ensures the more direct train control of the rear derailleur. Compared to its predecessor, the usual precise and fast gear changes are retained. Thanks to the compact shadow design, the rear derailleur sits closer to the frame. This slim, low-profile design not only looks good, but also protects the rear derailleur from damage in the event of a fall.

For optimal switching performance with all Shimano cassettes, 2 versions of the rear derailleur have been developed. The R7000-SS variant is suitable for cassettes with a maximum sprocket up to 30 teeth, while the R7000-GS version works for cassettes with up to 34 teeth.
