Great buy

- DOUCET, 29 September, 2025

I replaced my 11/28 cassette with an 11/32, so I had to switch to a derailleur with a large clevis, but I wanted to stick with ultegra. Yesterday was my first ride around Digne and it was really great, you can really feel the change, less power work, more fluidity even in the 12% sectors.

Hello, Ordered late afternoon and delivered the next day early afternoon. The price is very correct (chosen after research on the web) and exactly meets the order.

Works perfectly after 2 minutes of adjusting the gearstick.

- Tim, 1 August, 2025

Works perfectly after 2 minutes of adjusting the gearstick. Very neat packaging. Included cable guide too long for my application (l=15-20cm). Would have needed 5cm.

A successful combination of Japanese engineering and elegant design

- Holger, 14 April, 2025

As you would expect, this is a Japanese precision part with a great design and excellent mechanical shifting performance. I'll keep it in stock as I'm not a fan of electronic shifting.

- Thomas, 8 April, 2024

I needed a Shimano Ultegra R8000 11-speed derailleur quickly as the one I had on my bike was faulty. The parcel arrived very quickly from Holland, and all at a very good price. I will certainly be stopping here at Mantel more often.

Excellent product, Super shop.

- Olivier, 13 October, 2023

Bought for my ORIGINE 350, to replace a ULTEGRA short chain. Smoothness, precision, ease of assembly are always there, perhaps this recent version seems a little smoother to me, but this assessment is purely intuitive, so what's it worth? The combination with the 32-tooth cassette is very consistent, The quality of MANTEL service is remarkably efficient.

Very good quality to upgrade the road bike

- Maik, 26 February, 2021

Have the 8000er rear derailleur with the long cage bought as a replacement for the 6800er rear derailleur with short cage. Can now use all possible gear ratios. The delivery from the Netherlands has worked wonderfully. Since I had a few (unfounded) concerns before. After installation and adjustment, the wheel runs and switches amazingly clean and runs completely silently. So here my full recommendation for the rear derailleur.

Good shifting performance
Great gear ratio
Nice optics

Marginally better than the 6800-version

- Olli, 27 May, 2019

Trusted Shimano quality. A bit better than the 6800-version it replaces. The short cage version has 30-tooth capacity and the derailleur is nicely tucked away. Only downside is that the cable end easily hits the rear wheel spokes if the cable is too long

Pros & Cons

Short cage version has 30-tooth capacity
The derailleur protrudes less
Cable end can hit rear wheel spokes
