Hello

I have a new Shimano XT Derailleur with letters rd-M786 but then it says VIA. It’s new and want to sell it as I don’t need it.

Anyone know what the VIA means? I see SGS and GS online.

"VIA" ("Vehicle Inspection Association") is stamped on all Shimano parts. It is an official approval stamp used to certify parts of Japanese vehicles – including bicycles. This mark signifies compliance with certain quality standards.
