On some full suspension frames this is the only type of derailleur that will fit.
On this model, the weight is decent as compared to the MUCH more expensive XTR, shifting is crisp and the dual pull setup is very convenient, as are the included shims that fit multiple seat post diameters.
Pros shifts smoothly
Fits my particular frame style where a bottom swing won't fit
dual pull is convenient
Cons body is a little wide, front - back, can potentially hit my frame if I bottom out the supension, which hasn't happened yet
I bought this to switch to a double crankset from a triple and it works exactly as it should. Great for the price.
