SHIMANO FD-R7150 105 DI2 12-SPEED FRONT DERAILLEUR
Effortless and accurate, the FD-R7150 105 Di2 12-Speed Front Derailleur brings electronic shifting to Shimano’s third-tier groupset.
With just a light press on the shifter lever, the derailleur instantly moves the chain across the chainrings whilst the auto-trim function means that the derailleur is always in the right position to avoid chain rub, whatever rear sprocket is selected.
There are two programmable modes available to help manage shifting functions; Synchro shift allows a single shifter to control both front and rear shifts, always maintaining the correct ratios for optimal cadence and semi-synchronised shifting means that the system will automatically switch rear sprockets to compensate when a front shift is activated.
