Shimano Deore XT RD-M8000

With the latest and completely revised version of the Deore XT group, the Japanese manufacturer elevates your shifting performance to a new level. The new XT group meets the diverse demands of cross-country bikers, trail bike enthusiasts, and enduro racers with equal conviction, presenting itself as the most versatile high-performance shifting group from Japan.

The Deore XT RD-M8000 rear derailleur features the optimized SHADOW+ technology with a flat angle of attack and an extremely low profile, keeping sensitive components out of harm's way. Shifting performance has been enhanced with newly designed jockey wheels and optimized for cross-running chains. Additionally, you have the option to adjust the mechanism for minimal operating forces or maximum stability.

The Deore XT derailleur allows for precise and lightning-fast gear changes exactly when you need them, securely guiding the chain even on the roughest trails. Enduro fans can also forgo an additional chain guide, as the Shimano Clutch System keeps the chain under high tension.

The new Deore XT derailleur is suitable for regular 2x use as well as for bikers who prefer to ride with just one front chainring and 11 cogs at the rear, thanks to its large capacity.
