Deore XT goes 12 speed!
After SHIMANO set the XTR group to 12 sprockets in 2018, the Japanese component giant's long-running favorite, the Deore XT, will follow in 2019. As a high-end group for everyone, the XT continues to enjoy great popularity.
Technically and visually based on the slightly higher quality XTR rear derailleur, the Deore XT RD-M8100 12-speed rear derailleur from SHIMANO quickly makes it clear that it makes no compromises when it comes to shifting performance. Specialized in fast and crisp switching processes in conjunction with a robust 1-speed drive, it impresses with a wide range of applications. Starting with sporty XC through marathon/tour to aggressive trail and enduro blasting.
For better guidance of the chain when there is greater skew, the heart of the new XT shifting group has larger guide and tension rollers with 13 teeth. They contribute to improving chain stabilization, as does SHIMANO's own Shadow RD+ design with friction damper.
