Shimano Dura-Ace FD-9000 Bicycle Front Derailleur - 11 Speed

Dura-Ace moves to the next generation. Tested in competition and taken to victory by pro riders in all conditions, including the 2012 Tour de France Team Sky. Cutting edge technology for the ultimate in control and confidence.

With a revised actuation ratio in combination with the ST-9000 shifter and polymer-coated cables, the new Dura-Ace 9000 braze-on front derailleur delivers both a shorter stroke at the lever and reduced effort.

Key Features:

• New designed pull arm for more direct and easy shifting.
• More uniform shifting effort across the range.
• New support bolt for more stable contact to the frame.
• Compatible with Dura-Ace ST-9000 shifters and FC-9000 chainsets for optimum shifting performance.
• Outer trim is no longer required allowing the rider to focus on racing.
• Lightweight nickel-plated forged alloy chain cage reduces weight and increases rigidity whilst resisting abrasion from the chain.
• Extra wide pivot link and optimised spring tension combined with the ST-9000 STI lever gives a rigid, flex free shift while being smooth and light action.
• Forged aluminium construction reduces weight without sacrificing durability.
• Hard-wearing Dura-Ace finish.
• Braze on.
