XT FD-M785 Front Derailleur - Double

For cyclists who choose to buck the latest trend of one-by drivetrains in favor of the knee-saving grace of a double, Shimano's XT FD-M785 Front Derailleur may be the best option for smooth shifting that doesn't cost as much as your car's transmission. While other popular mountain bike component manufacturers privilege brute durability at the expense of clunky shifting, Shimano's XT kit manages to stay silky smooth with a tough attitude. When rocks, branches, and other trail denizens do inevitably re-tune your derailleur, angled adjustment screws make dialing it back in line quick and easy—even if your complex rear suspension would normally make it a chore.
