Discover the best Shimano components for your bike atEscapa. The Shimano 11-speed SGS RD-M8000 Deore XT Shadow+ rear derailleur is on par with the XTR in terms of function and shifting performance; only its slightly higher weight could be considered a drawback.
Just like its big brother in Shimano’s top-tier series, it offers fast and smooth shifting. With the revised Shadow+ technology, chain tension can be adjusted in two stages using a small lever on the rear derailleur. This allows you to choose whether the chain should run quietly with less tension or be kept taut for optimal chain length. The Shadow design reduces the rear derailleur’s lateral projection, thereby lowering the risk of the rear derailleur snagging on branches and rocks.
This component features Shadow Plus technology, which incorporates an ultra-low-profile design that minimizes the risks posed by Sendero obstacles. It is also equipped with a chain stabilizer switch that, when activated, reduces chain bounce on rough Terreno.
Features:
· Long-cage rear derailleur for double chainrings.
· 11 speeds.
· Reduces the risks posed by trail obstacles.
· Chain stabilizer switch.
