Shimano Deore FD-M6000 3-/10-speed Front Derailleur

The Deore FD-M6000 front derailleur by Shimano – side swing with mid-clamp option
The Shimano Deore FD-M6000 3x front derailleur for 10-speed MTB drivetrains features smooth chainring changes and an innovative side-swing construction for more tyre clearance. The associated front-pull cable routing provides more shifting efficiency, higher performance and lower operating forces. The mounting options are not only high clamp, low clamp, E-type and direct mount, for the first time also the mid-clamp option is used. This optimises the weight-function ratio and improves the optics.

The Shimano Side-Swing front derailleurs are controlled from the front (Front-Pull), which allows for much more efficient cable routing. This significantly improves shifting performance, especially when shifting to the large chainring – with lower operating forces. Other advantages include increased tyre clearance thanks to the slimmed-down design and noise reduction thanks to the optimised chainstay angle. In addition, Side-Swing technology favours the construction of frames with shorter chainstays, which simplify the control of the bike.
