The Shimano Alivio RD-M3100 is a mechanical rear derailleur for 9-speed drivetrains, designed for precise and reliable gear changes. It is ideal for mountain bikes and trekking bikes that require a robust and durable shifting component.
Shadow design reduces the derailleur profile and protects it from rock strikes and obstacles on rough terrain.
Top-Normal shifting allows intuitive operation – the shift lever relaxes when downshifting, improving control in demanding situations.
Direct mount to the derailleur hanger ensures simple and stable attachment without additional hardware.
9-speed compatibility makes the RD-M3100 the right choice for current 9-speed cassettes.
At only 385 g, the derailleur is lightweight and does not add unnecessary weight to the bike.
