  Product Description
High-energy components that are at home on or off the road

The new DEORE LX® group features the popular and revolutionary functions from the XTR® and DEORE XT® groups, including the Dual Control Lever™ with ergonomic design, HOLLOWTECH® crankset and the hydraulic disc brake system. This more affordable group will give you all the control you need for your favorite XC trail.

The wide pivot link design boosts strength and rigidity. Flex is suppressed, creating sharp, precise shifts that are faster and smoother, even from low to high gears off of the saddle. Also, Shimano uses a Double Servo-Panta Mechanism which keeps the guide pulley close to each sprocket to allow for smooth and precise shifting you've come to expect with Shimano.

Shimano LX M581 Rear Derailleur Long Cage features top-normal design, Direct Attachment, 11T Pulley, SGS pulley cage, and 2 Fluoric coated link bushings.
