Shimano XTR Di2 9050 3×11 Front Mech Review

• . Long regarded as the most notable feature of Shimano Di2 shifting, the front derailleur performance remains the best in the industry, now with the additional capabilities of Shimano Synchronized Shift With XTR M9050 Di2, front shifts require the same light effort of a rear Di2 shift, reducing effort and freeing up the rider to focus on the trail. The FD-M9050 uses computer controlled auto trim as the chain moves up and down the cassette to keep the drivetrain running smoothly. Shimano Synchronized Shift compatibility allows a single shifter to control both front and rear shifting XTR Di2 Dyna-Sys 11-speed front derailleur’s operation is pioneering, smooth shifting is guaranteed thanks to a microchip communication link with the gear levers. What’s more, shifting the rear derailleur automatically trims the front derailleur. The biggest difference you will notice is just how much quicker and effortlessly smoother shifting on the front chainrings is, even under load. The difference in the effort and time to actuate the shift between mechanical and Di2 is truly staggering. The removal of traditional mechanical cables in favour of electrical wires not only eliminates poor shifting caused by contaminates, corrosion and stretching, but provides effortless gear shifts no matter what the conditions. The front derailleur also trims automatically; the cage moves in response to the position of the rear derailleur on the cassette to ensure no chain rub and a quiet unobtrusive ride, enabling you to concentrate on the trail ahead Features: Synchro shift compatible meaning a single shifter can control both front and rear shifting which can be fully custom tuned to your riding preferences Braze-on fit as standard; Modular mounting allows you to choose from a range of mounting options to cater for all frame designs 11-speed E-tube Di2 compatible Triple compatible for 40T More powerful shifting than mechanical (+25% compared to M9000)Reliable gear changes under loadComputer controlled auto trimOptimized Di2 cage profile and gear trackingShimano Synchronized Shift compatibleSystem communication with rear derailleurAdvantage in all conditionsModular mounting structureA 2 year warranty is offered with all Shimano products from Chain Reaction Cycles (3 years on Dura-Ace and XTR products) Buy Shimano Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
