The Shimano Deore FD-M6000 3x front derailleur for 10-speed MTB drivetrains features smooth chainring changes and innovative side-swing construction for more tire clearance. The associated front-pull cable routing provides more shifting efficiency, higher performance, and lower operating forces. The mounting options are not only high clamp, low clamp, E-type, and direct mount, for the first time also the mid-clamp option is used. This optimizes the weight-function ratio and improves the optics.

The SHIMANO DEORE M6000 series front derailleurs feature a SIDE SWING design that improves cable routing while also providing a light action and smooth operation on 3x10 speed drivetrains.
