The DEORE RD-M7230 is made to excel under extreme load, making it the ideal rear derailleur for 11-speed LINKGLIDE e-bikes. If you've ever winced at that dreaded ker-clunk when shifting an e-MTB under power, this is the answer — LINKGLIDE is engineered for maximum durability and smooth, quiet shifts even when the motor is loading up the drivetrain.

It still carries all the latest Shimano derailleur technology. SHIMANO SHADOW ES gives it a low-profile, wedge-shaped design that helps it avoid trailside rock run-ins and absorb impact, returning to its original position if it does catch something. A robust structure with wide-link construction and a hard-wearing steel cage adds the longevity an e-bike drivetrain demands.
