The Shimano RD-M310 is an ALTUS MTB rear derailleur for compatible 7- and 8-speed drivetrains. It is a sensible choice when you need a dependable replacement or are refreshing an older bike without moving to a more complex groupset.
A Wide Link design adds rigidity around the derailleur body, helping the mechanism maintain accurate shifting. The Advanced Light Action system reduces the effort required at the shifter, making frequent gear changes feel easier and more responsive during everyday riding.
Shimano’s SMART CAGE pulley plate works with a 13-tooth guide pulley and an oversized 15-tooth tension pulley. This MegaPulley arrangement is designed to support smooth chain movement while reducing drivetrain noise and pulley wear. The derailleur has a 43T total capacity, but compatibility still depends on the rest of your drivetrain, including the shifter, cassette, chain and chain length.
A practical choice for anyone replacing a compatible 7- or 8-speed MTB rear derailleur or keeping an older everyday bike running reliably.
7/8-speed compatibility
Designed for compatible 7- and 8-speed drivetrains, making it suitable for many older and entry-level MTB setups.
43T total capacity

Wide Link design
The wider link increases derailleur rigidity to help deliver more precise rear shifting.
Advanced Light Action
The light-action mechanism makes gear changes easier and more responsive at the shifter.
Oversized pulley arrangement
A 13T guide pulley and 15T tension pulley support smooth chain movement while helping reduce noise and wear.
SMART CAGE pulley plate
The pulley plate is designed around the oversized pulley system for quiet running and durability.
Black finish
A clean black finish suits a wide range of MTB and utility-bike builds.
