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
• Wedge-shaped Design: Made to move out of the way to absorb trail impacts for a worry-free ride
• Covered Pulleys/cage: The solid pulley and shielded pulley teeth prevent trail debris from jamming up your flow
• 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
• Four fluorine-coated link pin bushings
• Strong return spring for a positive shifting feel
• Top normal spring uses the spring to select higher gears
