Shimano GRX Di2 RD-RX717 Wireless Rear Derailleur 12-Speed Shadow ES SGS Long Cage
The Shimano GRX Di2 RD-RX717 Wireless Rear Derailleur is purpose-built for modern gravel and adventure riding, delivering ultra-precise 12-speed electronic shifting with outstanding durability and chain stability. Designed around Shimano’s latest Shadow ES technology, this long-cage SGS derailleur provides a low-profile, impact-resistant design that excels on rough terrain, bikepacking routes, and cyclocross courses.
Featuring fully wireless Di2 shifting, the RD-RX717 uses an integrated removable battery (BT-DN320, sold separately) housed securely within the derailleur linkage for protection from trail debris and impacts. Shimano’s intelligent crash recovery function absorbs sudden knocks and automatically returns the derailleur to its original position, ensuring uninterrupted performance.
The advanced dual-spring Shadow ES chain stabilisation system increases spring force by 70%, delivering tighter chain wrap, reduced chain slap, and exceptionally quiet operation across mixed terrain. With compatibility for 10–51T wide-range cassettes, this SGS long-cage rear derailleur is ideal for steep climbs, loaded gravel riding, and endurance adventures.
Premium construction details, such as steel pulley cages, 13T solid pulleys, fluorine-coated bushings, and a cold-forged alloy outer link, ensure long-term reliability with virtually zero maintenance. Integrated BLE and ANT connectivity allows seamless pairing with Shimano Di2 systems for customisation and diagnostics.
