MTB Front Mech

The mountain bike front derailleur, often called the front mech, is a key component in controlling your gear range and ensuring smooth shifting between chainrings. While many modern MTB drivetrains now favour 1x systems, front mechs remain essential for riders who prefer the versatility of multiple chainrings. A well-functioning MTB front mech allows you to tackle steep climbs, maintain speed on flats and descend with confidence by giving you access to a wide spread of gears. At Swinnerton Cycles, we stock a wide selection of MTB front derailleurs from trusted brands, ensuring reliable performance across all riding styles and terrains.
