The XT Shadow Plus 12-speed rear derailleur offers fast and precise shifting performance, optimized to conquer any trail. The all-new Shimano Deore XT M8100 series derailleurs elevate drivetrain silence through decreased tension in the low gear position and an added bumper on the pulley cage. Larger 13-tooth pulleys enhance efficiency and chain management, while compatibility with Shimano's new 12-speed cassettes expands the gear range.
