The newdesign saves 15 grams over the older Dura-Ace rear derailleur. It features acold-forged aluminum body and 11 tooth pulleys alternate contact with chainlinks, reducing wear and friction. The pulley wheels spin on sealed cartridgebearings. “It shifts like a brand new derailleur, even after5000 miles,” is how one pro-racer described it. And it’s true. Thereduced flex not only creates a more solid shifting system, it stays solid alot longer. Looking to upgrade bit by bit to the new Dura-Ace?
