Specifications

Upgrade your mountain biking performance with the Shimano XT RD-M8000-GS Rear Derailleur - the ultimate 11-speed component engineered for durability, precision, and versatility. Designed with advanced materials and innovative technology, this rear derailleur delivers smooth, reliable shifting across challenging terrains, whether you're conquering steep climbs or exhilarating descents.

Materials & Construction:

Constructed with lightweight yet robust materials, the Shimano XT RD-M8000-GS features a durable black finish that resists dirt and debris buildup. Its low-profile, medium cage design optimizes weight savings while maintaining optimal chain tension, ensuring consistent performance in demanding conditions. The externally adjustable clutch allows for easy spring tension tuning, enhancing chain stability and reducing drop-offs for a more controlled ride.

Performance & Engineering:

The XT RD-M8000-GS supports a 46-tooth maximum rear cog for optimal gearing in 1x11 setups, with compatibility for 42-tooth cogs on 2x11 and 40-tooth cogs on 3x11 drivetrains. Its optimized slant angle reduces shifting effort and enhances overall drive stability, providing precise, responsive shifts every time. The Shadow clutch technology significantly minimizes chain slap and dropped chains, even on rugged trails, while the on-off clutch switch simplifies wheel removal and maintenance.

Components & Technology:

Equipped with an externally adjustable clutch, this derailleur ensures effortless spring tension adjustments for tailored performance. Its compatibility with Shimano Mountain and Shimano Rear Direct Mount systems makes it a versatile upgrade for a wide range of mountain bikes. Despite its advanced features, the derailleur maintains a lightweight profile, weighing only 271 grams, making it perfect for aggressive riding styles.

Style & Use Case:

Finished in sleek black, the Shimano XT RD-M8000-GS is designed for serious trail riders and mountain biking enthusiasts seeking reliable component performance with a stealthy aesthetic. Its medium cage length makes it ideal for bikes with a wide gear range, offering excellent chain management and shifting performance on technical terrain.
