Shimano XT FD-M780 front derailleur
Designed for 3-speed cranksets with a 48-26 tooth ratio. Perfectly matched to the Shimano 10-speed touring MTB cranksets with 3 chainrings and the new Shimano HG-X chains, the FD-T781 front derailleur offers Shimano’s typically excellent shifting performance.
Absolutely typical of Shimano: excellent shifting performance. The angled adjustment screws 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 broader pivot base, reduces twisting, 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.
