It includes a chain stabilising switch to reduce chain bounce in rough terrain, maintaining a stable drive and shifting. A single tension spring prevents contact with the chainstay, resulting in a silent ride. The derailleur has 13T pulleys and decreased derailleur tension to prevent high chain tension in low gears.

It also features direct cable routing to prevent snagging from trail side hazards. The cold forged wide alloy links and pivot body ensure durability, while the fluorine-coated link pin bushings provide smooth operation. A strong return spring provides a positive shifting feel.

This derailleur is specifically designed to work with LINKGLIDE shifters and 11-speed 1x drivetrains. It has durable sealed 13T bearing pulleys for low friction and a top normal spring that uses the spring to select higher gears. The derailleur has a max low sprocket of 50T (1x 12-speed) and a 39T capacity SGS cage.
