Shimano 3x10-speed XT FD-M780 Top Swing front derailleur.

Perfectly matched to Shimano 10-speed MTB cranksets with 3 chainrings and the new Shimano HG-X chains, the FD-M780 front derailleur offers Shimano’s typically excellent shifting performance.

Absolutely typical of Shimano: excellent shifting performance. The angled adjustment screws are easy to reach. The cage has been redesigned and is now lighter than before. In addition, the shape of the cage has been modified to increase tyre clearance. The widened parallelogram, with its wider pivot base, reduces flex, resulting in faster shifting and a longer service life.

This derailleur also features the Dual Pull cable routing system, allowing for both top-pull and down-pull cable routing. Recommended for all full-suspension bikes with a low pivot point. The specified maximum chainring difference is the official Shimano specification.
