Shimano SLX FD-M-665-E front derailleur, 2x9-speed

The Shimano SLX E-Type front derailleur for 2-speed cranksets with bashguard. Specially shaped chainrings ensure the 2-speed gearing on cranksets with 22/36 teeth for perfect shifting. This front derailleur is only compatible with frames designed for this purpose. The derailleur is mounted with the bottom bracket and requires a threaded hole in the frame for support. Shimano’s proven derailleur technology is also used in the new SLX derailleurs. The wide support of the chainrings and the perfectly engineered shifting aids ensure fast shifting even under load.
