Super Wide Links: The Saint version Shadow RD boasts super wide links creating rigid structure that resists twisting and wear that leads to play in the bushings.
Integrated Skid Plate: An integrated skid plate protects the derailleur.
Increased Spring Tension: The top-normal derailleur spring has increased tension (10-percent stronger than the XT / XTR Shadow version). The pulley cage spring is has also been revised to better control the movement of the cage which is available in both SS and GS lengths.
Mode Converter: A mode converter allows the derailleur to track different type of cassettes. The DH mode is a close ratio mode to track up to a 23- or 28-tooth low gear while the AM mode is optimized for a wider ratio cassette with a 32- or 34-tooth low gear.
Lighter: 100 grams lighter using Shadow design.
