With a lower profile cage design and the Shimano Shadow clutch, The Shimano XT RD-M8000 Shadow+ 11-Speed Rear Derailleur will cut down on disconcerting chain slap and let you focus on the trail ahead. Able to accommodate up to a 46t rear cog on 1x11 builds and a 42t cog on 2x11 builds, you’ll have plenty left in the tank after a vicious climb. Add in an optimized slant angle and a low profile cage design, and you’ll be turning and burning through your gears smoothly and efficiently long after the trails turn dusty.
Low Profile Derailleur Cage – Reduces collection of debris and potential for damage.
Shadow Clutch – Externally adjustable clutch for easier spring tension adjustment. Reduces chain slap and dropped chains, on-off switch allows for simple wheel changes.
Optimized Slant Angle – Lowers shift effort while improving shifting and driving stability.
