The XT derailleur operates extremely smoothly and requires only minimal operating force. Additionally, it is 30 g lighter than the previous model.
It is equipped with a long cage, extra wide support, sealed ball bearings, and an outward-pressing spring. It can also be used for 7/8-speed shifting. Sealed 11-tooth shift pulleys run quieter and last longer due to their alternating contact with the inner and outer chain links. High-load LM construction and low-friction pivot technology. The sealed cable keeps dirt and moisture away from the inner cable.
