Shimano Xtr Rd-M9000

Since the introduction of the high-end XTR group, mountain biking has evolved significantly. Shimano has closely analyzed the directions of this development and identified four fundamental categories in the mountain bike sector. In the competition-oriented cross-country segment, the focus is particularly on physical and conditioning performance and requirements, while in the enduro segment, technical challenges take center stage. However, both areas also have their recreational sub-segments, which are more focused on either conditioning or technical trail riding. With the newly presented XTR M9000 series, Shimano offers the perfect solution in all these categories for all mountain bikers who settle for nothing less than the best.

Shimano XTR RD-M9000 Shadow Plus Rear Derailleur

The Shadow Plus mechanism has been further developed in the RD-M9000 rear derailleur. With the ability to adjust the friction damper via a screw mechanism, the system can be tuned variably for maximum stability or minimal operating forces. Additionally, the derailleur features an even lower profile, protecting it from damage and further reducing operating forces due to the flat angle of engagement.

With the new Shadow Plus technology, the new Side-Swing derailleur design, and the new XTR chain, the M9000 series offers one of the most stable mountain bike drivetrains of all time. In combination with the diverse "Rider Tuned" options for cranksets, braking systems, wheels, and pedals, the XTR M9000 presents itself as one of the most complete mountain bike component groups on the market.
