The Shimano CUES RD-U6020 LINKGLIDE 2x10-speed rear derailleur, equipped with SHADOW RD technology, is designed to deliver smooth and reliable shifting performance. This dependable component is perfect for trekking and everyday bikes with flatbar handlebars, as well as e-bikes, thanks to its E-BIKE RATED design.

Key Features

• Ultimate Durability: The LINKGLIDE RD-U6020 provides smoother, more consistent pedaling with nearly imperceptible shifts. Its optimized shifting gate design ensures a smooth transition between cogs, minimizing jumps that can affect shifting and pedaling smoothness. This 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.
