With the latest and completely revamped version of the Deore XT group, the Japanese manufacturer elevates your shifting performance to a new level. The new XT group convincingly meets the diverse demands of cross-country bikers, trail bike enthusiasts, and enduro racers alike, presenting itself as the most versatile high-performance shifting group from Japan. The Deore XT RD-M8000 rear derailleur features optimized Shadow+ technology with a flat angle and an extremely low profile, keeping sensitive components out of harm's way. The shifting performance has been enhanced with newly designed jockey wheels and optimized for cross-chaining. Additionally, you have the option to adjust the mechanism for minimal actuation force 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 both regular 2x use and for bikers who prefer to ride with just one front chainring and 11 cogs at the rear.
