Gravel riders rejoiced when Shimano launched into its new GRX groupset, and its easy to see why when we've been stuck piecing together our groupsets from mismatched elements of road and mountain components for years. But we'd wager that even if we'd had other options in the past, we still would...

Lighter front shifting operation and easier setup for mixed-terrain riding

Perhaps our favorite function with Di2 is shifting the front derailleur. It's light years better than any mechanical group and Shimano brings reliable Di2 technology and performance to Ultegra for precise and effortless shifting. This latest Di2 version is the R8050 and it's 11-speed compatible....

The trickle down of Dura-Ace 9100 technology to Ultegra R8000 11-speed drivetrains continues with the FD-R8000 front derailleur. Shimano redesigned it to have a lighter shift action, increased frame and tire clearance, and to work better with chain lines seen on road bikes with disc brakes and...

The SRAM Force D2 eTap AXS Front Derailleur is a 2 x 12-speed front derailleur built to provide crisp, accurate front shifts to our standard chainline eTap AXS crank. Optimized for the 13-tooth gap between X-Range rings and loaded with Yaw technology, this option provides us with unreal...

The new RED eTap AXS front derailleur returns with SRAM's excellent Yaw pivot design for trim-free cage operation. It rotates slightly when shifted into the small ring improving shifting while also preventing chain rub, no matter what cog it's on out back. It also features an optimized cage...

Featuring SRAM's rotational Yaw technology, the SRAM Red Front Derailleur gives you the ability to use every gear combination without pesky chain rub or discordant drivetrain feedback. Instead of simply moving back and forth along a linear path like most front derailleurs, the Red rotates in...

SRAM's Rival 22 Front Derailleur is a budget-friendly, high-performance option for our road setup. Its Yaw technology delivers a pivoting motion during shifting, while the integrated chain catch protects our frame. This 11-speed derailleur uses a Braze-on mount and uses precision markings on the...
