Shimano SLX RD-M675 D.M. Shadow Plus Rear Derailleur

The RD-M675 Rear Derailleur offers Shimano's new direct mounting system and the revolutionary Shadow Plus technology with the affordable SLX-level price tag.

The direct mount design is compatible with newer frames from some of the cycling industry's leading manufacturers while remaining back-compatible with traditional hangers. This feature allows the derailleur to sit about 25mm further back than previous designs, where it's less exposed to impacts along the trail. It also creates a stiffer interface between the derailleur and frame and allows for faster wheel changes, particularly on bikes using thru-axle systems.

The XTR-derived Shadow Plus system adds a stabilizer switch which can be enabled to increase spring tension and eliminate chain slap over rough terrain. Once disabled, the switch slackens back to standard spring tension, allowing for quick and easy wheel removal. Like last year's standard Shadow models, the Shadow Plus cage is tucked out of the way, furthering the derailleur's ability to clear trail obstacles like roots and rocks.

The SLX RD-M675 Rear Derailleur is designed for Shimano Dyna-Sys 10-speed MTN drivetrains/shifters. Available in GS Mid-Cage or SGS Long-Cage models. A removable B-Link is pre-installed for compatibility with standard derailleur hangers. Black finish. Actual weight: 308g (SGS with B-Link).
