Quality product

- Guilhem, 2 January, 2025

Very good quality product, not too expensive, good looking, chain lock mechanism. However, there are no paper instructions, you have to scan a qr code and go to the website. Installed on a 2018 Giant Full-E, I recommend it.

Just that bit higher than standard Deore

- Binne, 15 August, 2024

Kwa shifting behaviour, not very different from standard Deore. Both shift very well and smoothly. Just slightly better build quality. The derailleur wheels have better bearings, it is a bit lighter and it has the shadow rd+ chain stabiliser system. Something my previous Deore RD didn't have. After 150km, couldn't find anything negative yet.

Pros & Cons

Easy mounting
Lighter than the standard Deore RD
Shadow RD+ chain stabiliser (clutch)
Smooth shifting
Well-bearing wheels

Top derailleur and not expensive

- Richard, 7 May, 2022

I bought this derailleur for a 1x10 setup with an 11-48 cassette. It performs fine, grabs all the cranks and gets on the biggest ones effortlessly. It shifts very fast, 'tap and go'. The price is fine too, a top-end derailleur for under 100 euros.

Pros & Cons

Easy to adjust
Looks slick
Shifts very smoothly

Very good except for the delivery service

- Marque, 6 January, 2022

The site is well detailed with clear information and fast delivery if the nl post office would do its job properly Because I phoned explaining well and detailing the location of my house and with that they put the address was not found I find that a little aberrant.

Pros & Cons

Clear explanation
Easy to find on the site
The right product
Registered a second time at a relay point
The delivery method
The post office can't find my house

I found the derailleur to assemble my single-crown Gravel at a very attractive price. Obviously the guarantee on the quality of the product is the name behind it :-)

rock solid changer

- Alex, 27 September, 2020

Recently fitted a 1 x 11 drive to my old and very trusty XC bike... this changer coupled with XT shifter works a treat. XT has always been super reliable and no-nonsene in my view

Great business

- Colin, 19 June, 2020

This part was in short supply. Not only did Mantel have it, but delivered it in super quick time. Great business to deal with. As for the derailleur, it is a straight replacement - super reliable and very precise

Great deraiieur

- Russ, 7 July, 2016

Went for a 10 speed set up with an 11-42 cassette using the shimano XT 10 speed with the RAD cage upgrade. Worked quite well but the amount of chin wrap was not great. Decided to get the 11 speed. Works much better, totally compatable with the 10 speed system

Pros & Cons

Compatable with 10 speed
Great value
