Shimano Essa U2000 Rear Derailleur 8S Large Cage - Black

Robust, versatile and designed for an active lifestyle, ESSA components are suitable for a wide range of sporty leisure bikes, including mountain bikes, fitness bikes and city bikes.
Thanks to compatibility with components from the Acera, Altus and Tourney TX groupsets, the ESSA series also significantly expands Shimano's range of 8-speed shifting systems.
At the same time, the complexity of the entry-level model has been significantly simplified and harmonized.

Shimano ESSA RD-U2000 rear derailleur.
Whether on trails, gravel paths or the road, the RD-U2000 rear derailleur from the Shimano ESSA series offers stable and seamless shifting behavior, allowing recreational cyclists to reliably master any challenge.
At the same time, the flat, terrain-oriented design helps the rider to expand his comfort zone while trail biking.
Accordingly, the off-road-compatible construction of the rear derailleur, which is suitable for 1x8-speed drivetrains, is also characterized by an optimized geometry and spring tension, which significantly reduces the risk of the chain jumping off.

With their advanced technology, the Shimano Shadow RD rear derailleurs are suitable for a more aggressive riding style.
The extremely minimized profile has a number of advantages.
Thanks to this flat design and the construction based on a simple pre-tension, the rear derailleur does not touch the chain stay, even under the roughest conditions.
The derailleur works cleanly and quietly.
