A workshop 5-pack of the Shimano Deore RD-M5100-SGS long-cage rear derailleur — the same reliable 11-speed unit trusted by trail riders worldwide, supplied in a dealer quantity ideal for bike shops and service centres. The RD-M5100-SGS delivers smooth, consistent shifting across the full 11-51T gear range with Shimano's SHADOW+ clutch keeping the chain under control on rough terrain.

Highlights

  • SHADOW+ clutch technology: Built-in chain stabiliser with a simple on/off switch significantly reduces chain slap, noise, and chain drop on rough trails without affecting shift quality.
  • Low-profile SHADOW design: Compact cage profile sits closer to the bike, reducing the risk of rock strikes and damage on technical terrain.
  • Long SGS cage: 40T total capacity supports wide-range 11-speed cassettes up to 51T — compatible with the CS-M5100-11 (11-51T) cassette.
  • 13-tooth guide and tension pulleys: Larger pulleys reduce friction and improve chain articulation through the full cassette range.
  • Durable composite construction: Aluminium body with steel cage plates, stainless steel hardware, and GFRP composite components for long-term reliability.
  • Seven fluorine-coated pivot bushings: Reduced friction at every pivot point for smoother action and extended service life.
  • Workshop economy: Pack of five units — lower per-unit cost for workshop builds, service stock, and fleet maintenance.
