Product description
Shimano Saint RD-M820 Rear Derailleur black (black)
This is more than clearly underpinned by the features of this new groupset. To ensure that the new SAINT sets standards even under the toughest conditions in downhill races, the component group was developed in close cooperation with professional racers such as Aaron Gwin and Gee Atherton. These riders provided Shimano engineers and designers with invaluable input on where and how to further improve Saint to get the best performance on the track.
For gravity riders who need high stability in critical situations, SHIMANO has the SAINT 10-speed rear derailleur with SHADOW PLUS technology. This technology, which was first introduced for the XTR rear derailleur, was adapted for the SAINT rear derailleur and enables an extremely quiet drivetrain system for gravity disciplines. A switch activates a stabiliser that stabilises the rear derailleur cage when the chain moves up and down in rough terrain. However, to install and remove the rear wheel, the switch must be set to the "Off" position.
