The 11-Speed version of the Deore long-cage mechanical drivetrain has all the same durability-driven features as the 12-Speed model, including the Shadow ES wedge-shaped design with a low-profile, slim stabilizer and wide link structure, and a steel pulley cage.

Technology
Shimano Shadow ES
Robust. Resilient. Ready For Anything.
The concept of a Shadow derailleur has evolved. It's slimmer, stronger, smarter, has a Shadow-style chain stabilizer, and has a motor unit with Automatic Crash Recovery that returns to its original position after impact.
- Automatic Impact Recovery: The new Automatic Impact Recovery function instantly returns the 12-Speed derailleur to its original position after impact. Ride on
- Low Profile, Slim Design: Experience fewer derailleur strikes with lower consequences thanks to the low profile wireless derailleur
- Chain Stabilising Technology: The low-profile dual spring design creates higher chain tension for better chain wrap and retention
- Designed To Survive: The rear derailleur body boast a wide, well-braced linkage and solid pulleys to minimise debris entry and ensure durability
Features
- Shadow ES features a super low profile skid plate design and optimised slant angle for optimal clearance
- Shadow ES uses a dual spring chain stabilising switch that when on will reduce chain bounce in rough terrain maintaining more stable drive and shifting
- The Shadow ES system is also zero maintenance and has no degradation of performance
- Unique structure using two springs has a tighter chain wrap that improves shifting and security with increased spring force by 70%, allowing the chain to mesh firmly with the sprocket
- LinkGlide: Smooth shifting, especially under load, making it ideal for E-MTB use
- Wedge-shaped Design: Made to move out of the way to absorb trail impacts
- Steel Pulley Cage: Adds extra strength and durability to the design
- Long Cage: Excellent range when paired with a LinkGlide 11-50T cassette
- With the tighter chain wrap skipping is prevented even as the cogs wear
- Solid pulleys to minimise debris entry and ensure durability
- Direct cable routing prevents snagging from any trail side hazards
- Cold forged wide alloy links and pivot body
- Fluorine-coated link pin bushings
- Strong return spring for a positive shifting feel
