The rear derailleur RD-M7000 was totally redesigned and incorporates premium features from XTR and DEORE XT. It features Shimano Shadow RD+ technology and a refined geometry for increased stability. The medium cage 11-speed rear derailleur (RD-M7000-11-GS) offer a drivetrain capacity of 41-teeth, whilst the long cage 10-speed rear derailleur (RD-M7000-10-SGS) offer a larger drivetrain capacity of 43-teeth to accommodate its triple chainring.
