A Derailleur Built for Rugged Rides 

Designed to withstand the extreme demands of real-world riding, the new DEORE XT rear derailleur is purpose-built to take rock strikes and hard impacts without missing a beat. The derailleur's low-profile design helps it avoid blunt force impacts, while the unique wedge shape allows it to glance off trail obstacles, so you can keep pedaling without interruption. 

Automatic Impact Recovery  

If a catastrophic impact does happen, the DEORE XT rear derailleur features SHIMANO’s new automatic impact recovery function. This allows the derailleur to pivot away from the trail obstacle to lessen the force of the impact, and then it snaps right back into place. No drama, no interruption, just smooth sailing.

Real-World Durability 

Ready to take on the toughest trails, the DEORE XT rear derailleur is built with a wide-link structure, an alloy solid pulleys for added durability. It utilizes SHIMANO’s new chain stabilizing technology with a dual-spring design to reduce the chance of skipping or dropping your chain. This comes thanks to a higher chain tension for better chain wrap and retention. 

Battery Protection   

The DEORE XT wireless Di2 derailleur is powered by a long-lasting rechargeable battery that’s tucked away inside the derailleur body. It is sealed off and secure, so you can pick your way through rough, rocky terrain with confidence in every shift. 

Two Ways to Ride Wireless 

The Di2 rear derailleur comes in two wireless options: one with a long-cage for use with the wide-range 10-51T cassette and a shorter, trail-clearance-boosting mid-cage for use with the 9-45T cassette. With either setup, you’re getting SHIMANO’s 12-speed HYPERGLIDE+ shifting, now even faster thanks to the new Di2 wireless protocol.

E-MTB Derailleurs with FREE SHIFT and AUTO SHIFT  

For e-MTB riders, there are two wired derailleur options that plug into your bike’s existing e-bike battery and bring SHIMANO’s legendary reliability along for the ride. The long-cage RD-M8260-12 is compatible with 12-speed HYPERGLIDE+ drivetrains, while the RD-M8260-11L is designed for use with SHIMANO’s high-durability 11-speed LINKGLIDE drivetrains. Both options deliver SHIMANO’s FREE SHIFT technology to shift as you coast and AUTO SHIFT technology for smooth, automatic gear changes while pedaling. 

Cranks To Tackle Any Ride 

The revamped DEORE XT crankset is tough, efficient, and ready for any riding style. Offered in one configuration, the crank features a 176mm q-factor, 55mm chain line, direct mount chairing design, and a standard 24mm steel axle. Whether you’re an XC racer, an enduro rider, or you dabble in a little of everything, this crank has you covered.

 

A Shifter That Feels Like Home 

Your cockpit, your rules. The new DEORE XT Di2 shifter switch is built for personalization with four-way adjustability and a natural, tactile feel for improved on-bike control. The new switches can be placed in more locations on the bar, while the button functions can be optimized for different riding preferences, allowing riders to dial in their setup just the way they like it. 

 

Want to shift with a quick tap or hold it down for multiple gear shifts? Prefer a double-click or want to keep things tight with single-shift mode? It’s all there, plus a third programmable button you can set up to control your GPS unit or use to fine-tune your derailleur mid-ride.

Brakes You Can Count On Every. Single. Time. 

The new DEORE XT brakes deliver powerful and reliable modulation for whatever the trail throws at you. Riders can tune their brake setup utilizing a single brake lever and pairing it with either the more powerful four-piston BR-M8220 caliper or the lighter weight BR-M8200 (post mount) and BR-MT805 (flat mount) two-piston calipers.

 

The new lever design hugs your fingers just right, encouraging a balanced, aggressive stance on the bike. And thanks to upgraded seals and special low-viscosity mineral oil, your brakes stay cool, quiet, and consistent, even on those long descent that tests the nerves.

Wheels as Versatile as You Are 

Rounding out the DEORE XT M8200 lineup are new WH-M8200 alloy wheels that are light enough for tackling steep alpine climbs yet tough enough to hammer through the roughest terrain. Available in both 29-inch and 27.5-inch options, the new wheels feature an improved hub design for easy service while offering superior sealing.
