The difference in size between this Di2 R8050 model and the mechanical version is barely noticeable, and it performs even better!
A former racer with a keen eye for equipment
The particularly compact design of the new Shimano Di2 R8050 rear derailleur is inherited from Shimano Shadow RD technology, allowing the derailleur body to be housed under the cassette.
This R8000 derailleur features a new Direct Mount mounting system, which makes the whole unit even more rigid, improving gear shifting. It is compatible with all road and cyclo-cross bike frames on the market.
The geometry of the Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8050 rear derailleur has been completely redesigned. Shimano engineers have worked on the shape of the rear derailleur to make it compatible with 11-speed 11-30 (short cage) and 11-34 (medium cage) cassettes without compromising precision or increasing the weight of the derailleur.This new R8050 rear derailleur also offers cyclists the option of semi-automatic gear shifting, with the rear derailleur operating automatically (semi-synchro). This means that you can program, for example, the two left-hand controls to shift up and the two right-hand controls to shift down.

Easy to assemble and with the help of a tutorial, precise adjustment is done without problem. Quite high price. (Translated review)
To be tested over time, it has only a few kilometers on the clock. It served to replace the same with a medium cage, switched to a short cage with a change from Ultegra 11x34 to Dura-Ace 11x30. This medium cage version lasted 10-12000 km before bending during a gear change. One can imagine it had already suffered a shock from the fall despite the auto-folding position of the Di2 because upon reassembly, with identical screw tightening, the chain tension requirement was quite different on the new one without excessive screwing.

Very reliable shift, as is customary from Shimano. Excellent workmanship and with a good appearance. (Translated review)
The product perfectly conforms to the description on the site and was delivered quickly. No assembly issues on the bike but I regret that the components of the Shimano di2 are so fragile. And expensive ... (Translated review)

I replaced my old 6870 with a short cage with this 8050 with a medium cage to switch to a 34-tooth cassette. It works perfectly and is compatible with the shifters and the 6870 system. (Translated review)
