Shimano XT FDM781A front derailleur

The XT FD-M781 front derailleur, now also available in a Top Pull version, for frames with limited space behind the seat tube.

Designed to work with Shimano 10-speed MTB cranksets featuring 40-22 and 42-24-tooth chainring sets and the new Shimano HG-X chains, the FD-M781A front derailleur delivers the excellent shifting performance typical of Shimano.

The excellent shifting performance is typical of Shimano. 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 features the narrow Top Pull cable routing and is recommended for all full-suspension bikes with a low pivot point. The specified maximum chainring difference is the official Shimano specification. Due to the more stable parallelogram support, we recommend this derailleur wherever it fits.
