Technology

Shimano Shadow ES

Robust. Resilient. Ready For Anything.

The concept of a Shadow derailleur has evolved. It's slimmer, stronger, smarter, has a Shadow-style chain stabilizer, and has a motor unit with Automatic Crash Recovery that returns to its original position after impact.

• Automatic Impact Recovery: The new Automatic Impact Recovery function instantly returns the 12-Speed derailleur to its original position after impact. Ride on
• Low Profile, Slim Design: Experience fewer derailleur strikes with lower consequences thanks to the low profile wireless derailleur
• Chain Stabilising Technology: The low-profile dual spring design creates higher chain tension for better chain wrap and retention
• Designed To Survive: The rear derailleur body boast a wide, well-braced linkage and solid pulleys to minimize debris entry and ensure durability

Di2

Thanks to its lightning-fast, accurate, and reliable shifting performance, Di2 puts riders in complete control and ensures a seamless interface between the cyclist and bike like never before. Creating and continually improving the world's best shifting is a complicated undertaking requiring constant technological advancements. From hardware to software, Shimano Di2 technology is on the cutting edge, striving to deliver the best rider experience possible now and in the future.

Since its first introduction two decades ago, Shimano Di2 technology has evolved to offer the most advanced shifting experience for a wide range of rider types and riding styles including road, city, mountain bike, and gravel.

The Di2 system allows comfort riding by the fusion of Shimano’s traditional mechanical technology and advanced digital technology. The computer-controlled automatic shifting system, the selfadjustable digital suspension for optimum hardness, and three automatic drive modes at your choice. Advanced computer engineering provides a smooth, silent and shockless ride. The Cyber Nexus is characterized by many features including the internal 8-Speed automatic system synchronized with the auto-suspension for quick response. In addition, electric power is supplied from the front hub dynamo to control shifting and suspension realizing an environmentally-friendly system - EcoVision. Shimano will continue to pursue the development of this self-energizing and automatic system.
