Shimano's updated DEORE M6000 rear derailleur is designed for aggressive trail riding and uses SHIMANO SHADOW RD+ for improved chain stability and retention.
Shadow RD Plus uses a chain stabilising switch that when on will reduce chain bounce in rough terrain. Shimano's new Direct Mount Rear Derailleur system gives more space around the rear frame dropout resulting in easier rear wheel removal but also allows frame designers to shorten chain stays, increase axel sizes and move suspension pivots.
