Shimano XT FD-M785 E-Type front derailleur.

Perfectly matched to Shimano 10-speed MTB cranksets with 2 chainrings and the new Shimano HG-X chains, the FD-M785 front derailleur offers Shimano’s typically excellent shifting performance.

The E-Type front derailleurs in the new 10-speed series are supplied without an E-Type front derailleur mount; this must be ordered separately. These front derailleurs can also be fitted to frames with the Direct Mount S3. The bolt spacing is 22.3 mm. The excellent shifting

performance is typical of Shimano. The angled adjustment bolts are easy to access. 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.
