Engineered for trail riders and endurance cyclists, the Shimano XT RD-M8000 rear derailleur delivers crisp, reliable gear changes across rugged terrain. Its 11-speed compatibility and 46-tooth max cog capacity tackle steep climbs effortlessly, while the medium cage length optimizes chain tension for technical descents.

Key Features:

  • 39T chain wrap capacity – Smooth performance across mixed gear combinations
