Shimano Ultegra RD-R8000-SS rear derailleur, 11-speed short cage

The short-cage Ultegra rear derailleur for 11-speed road bikes running close-ratio gearing. It is the choice when your cassette tops out at 11-30T and you want the tightest chain management and the crispest shifts.

Highlights

  • 11-speed Ultegra rear derailleur
  • SS short cage, covering 11-25T to 11-30T cassettes
  • For double chainring drivetrains
  • Precise, repeatable road shifting

Short cage, sharper shifts

A short cage holds less chain, which keeps the chain under tighter control over rough roads and gives a more direct feel at the lever. It is the right pick for racing and fast group riding on close-ratio cassettes.

Compatibility and fit

For Shimano 11-speed road drivetrains with a matching 11-speed shifter. Shimano lists the SS cage as covering 11-25T through to 11-30T cassettes; if you run a larger sprocket than that, the GS medium cage version is the one you need. Ask us if you are unsure which cage suits your gearing.
