Shimano Deore RD-M6200 12 Speed Rear Derailleur - Black

The new Deore range benefits from the trickle-down of technology from Shimano's flagship models and the RD-M6100 12-speed derailleur provides fast, precise shifting and smooth and silent operation in all positions over rough terrain. The larger 13T jockey wheels increase efficiency and chain management and the low profile design tucks it out of the way to avoid damage from rocks. Cross-compatible with all Shimano 12-speed drivetrain components.
