The Shimano CUES RD-U6000 LINKGLIDE 1x10/11-speed rear derailleur, equipped with SHADOW RD+ technology, delivers smooth and reliable shifting performance. This versatile derailleur ensures seamless shifting and efficient pedaling for an uninterrupted trail experience. Its flat design and chain stabilization provide generous safety reserves, even on rough terrain.

Key Features

• Ultimate Durability: The LINKGLIDE RD-U6000 ensures smoother, more consistent pedaling with nearly imperceptible shifts. Its optimized shifting gate design provides a smooth transition between cogs, minimizing jumps that can affect shifting and pedaling smoothness. This improvement is particularly beneficial during outward shifts, where larger forces make pedaling shock more noticeable.
• Enhanced Drivetrain Longevity: Ideal for high-torque e-bikes and daily riders, LINKGLIDE's redesigned cassette teeth feature a substantially thicker base and a unique chamfer that significantly improves wear resistance. This enhances cassette durability, prolonging smooth driving performance and delaying chain skips caused by wear.
