The 105 R7000 Front Derailleur features an optimised, easy to shift, smooth power-stroke. This provides a very natural and easy to activate shifting feel and lighter mechanism actuation; it feels very easy to shift across chainrings. 2 x 11 SpeedMaterial: Clamp: Aluminium; Plate: SteelChain Line: 43.5mmWeight: 95gThanks to the enhanced design, Shimano has designed this front derailleur so that it is compatible with most cable routing options on the market; it also comes complete with a, integrated cable tension adjustment screw to ensure excellent adjustability and convenience when fine-tuning. This is a popular choice for cyclists who are chasing reliability and performance at a wallet friendly price.
The 5700 series 105 front derailleur features a widened link for increased rigidity and improved shifting response, particularly under load. The light action spring reduces the effort required to actuate shifts, enabling quicker gear changes whilst the derailleur and cage have been optimised to work with the latest Shimano's STI lever design (and as such is not backwards compatible). The aluminium hardware of the 105 front mech is clear coated to resist corrosion and maintain their great looks. Designed for 10-speed double chainsets, it has a maximum capacity 16 teeth for use with 50-56 tooth outer chainrings.
Elite road racers need reliable and precise shifting that is both lightweight and durable, and that s why they choose Shimano s Dura-Ace. The R9100 11-Speed Front Derailleur is part of Shimano s new flagship Dura Ace range, boasting elite level performance in a durable and lightweight package. The Toggle Link Leverage construction reduces weight and improves shifting performance, and thanks to improvements in cage design an outer trim is no longer required, allowing the rider to focus on racing. The lightweight nickel-plated forged alloy chain cage reduces weight and increases rigidity whilst resisting abrasion from the chain and the extra wide pivot link and optimised spring tension creates a rigid, flex free shift whilst remaining a smooth and light action. The forged aluminium construction reduces weight without sacrificing durability, the integrated cable tension adjustment is quick and easy to use and the hard-wearing finish is as good as you would expect from Shimano s flagship range. If you re looking to upgrade you existing Shimano Front Derailleur or replace an entire groupset, the Dura-Ace R9100 will not disappoint.

It also matches the wider pitch of Shimano's R8000 chainset, creating increased compatibility with disc brake road frames. Technologies: HG-EV: HG-EV cassette sprocket is for rider-tuned gear combination and cadence management. Shimano provides the optimal 11-speed drivetrain gear ratio; you can choose from the wider and closer gear combinations available to match various riding disciplines. HG-EV cassette sprocket is obtained 11-speed gear without compromising the 10-speed durability and improved HYPERGLIDE shifting HG-X11 Chain Compatible: Silky driving, accurate shifting. HG-X11 directional chain ensures smoother shifts and greater overall performance.

The wide link design Shimano 105 front derailleur - 10 Speed version brings you increased rigidity and improved shifting response. For use with 105 ST-5700 or Ultegra ST-6700 shifters only for optimum shifting performance.
With the new Super Record, Record, and Chorus groupsets, shifting is extremely easy thanks to the long front plate of the front mech body, meaning greater leverage and therefore truly reduced movement when shifting. Shifting precision is achieved thanks to the design of the new narrower cages. The semi-inner cage, in aluminium, has features that improve shifting speed. The most efficient downshifting on the market is achieved thanks to the integrated outer semi-cage in carbon fibre, a distinctive Campagnolo feature on the Super Record and Record front mechs, or by the positioning of a plate on the tip of the Chorus front mech. Special Inner Cage Design The inner semi-cage, in aluminium, has features that improve shifting speed, give greater rigidity and provides more space for chain crossovers
Absolute personalisation thanks to the two colour versions available (silver or black). And the weight has been reduced to below 100 grams.

The Potenza 11™ front derailleur boasts an upper body that has a design nearly identical to that of the Super Record mechanical model complete with longer arm to ensure less effort required to derail to a larger gear. One of the only differences that can be immediately seen comes in the form of the newly developed one-piece steel cage with a similar shape to the Super Record version. Potenza 11™ is similar in design yet incorporates different materials to ensure derailing performance on par with Super Record.
