Product Details

Accurate mechanical shifting developed to provide the rider with the smooth and reliable shifting pattern across their entire cassette, the Shimano Ultegra R8000 11-Speed Rear Derailleur SS is an easy means of equipping your bike with 11-speed compatibility and slick changing across cassettes ranging from 11-25T to 11-30T.

Benefitting from a lightweight aluminium pulley cage manufactured to provide you with the integral strength to shift with precision and accuracy whilst under load, this rear derailleur weighs just 198 grams whilst giving you the breadth to open up your gearing to conquer more. With a wide link design that gives quick and accurate shifting whilst improving your overall drive train efficiency, this derailleur benefits from a low, aerodynamic profile that also helps keep this rear mech from bearing the brunt of crashes, should they happen to occur.

With an optimised slant angle and compatibility with 11-speed drivetrains improving the overall cohesion of this component and your bike, you can be sure of a slick operation from this mechanical rear derailleur. With a wide outer link plating increasing pivot joint rigidity, you can rely on a click and shift even when under load, allowing you to keep your rhythm and climb in style.

Great. Identical replacement, needed careful adjustment once fitted but works perfect. Have a Cannon evo old derailleur sheared after mishap. BTW I have to say, Sigma never fail, been using them for years. Ordering easy, cheapest I could find, quick delivery, arrived just as advertised. Cheers!

Great replacement for a old worn out one with Ultegra groupset combos. The R8000 is always a smooth reliable shifting mechanism that provides good feedback on the road with a crisp gear shift when setup correctly with new inners and outers in most internally routed frames. I use mine on a 2017 Specialized Venge Disk Expert which makes this rear mech a component to a high spec fast road bike capable of transferring your performance accurately to the road for a considerable time before failure. It is still one the best low cost, high performance Shimano derailleur on the market that is easy to install yourself at home.

  1. Can I do a direct swap with this for a 105 derailleur , are there any issues regarding changing anything else?

    1. Hello, I can confirm that this will work as a direct replacement for any 11 speed 105 rear derailleur with no compatibility issues. Kind Regards Liam

About Shimano

Shifting the way the world rides.

From a single Osaka workshop in 1921, Shimano has grown into the world's most influential component maker. The brand's relentless engineering — Dura-Ace, Ultegra, GRX, XTR — has shaped the way the world shifts, brakes and rides, on the road and off it.

Shimano's flagship groupset, Dura-Ace, has been the benchmark for top-level road components for more than five decades. Every refinement that lands on Dura-Ace eventually shapes the entire Shimano range, all the way down to entry-level drivetrains.
