Shimano XT M8000 11 Speed Rear Derailleur (Medium Cage)

The long awaited Shimano XT 11 speed drivetrain has made its grand entrance! Featuring Shimano’s innovative Shadow RD + technology and a refined geometry, the Deore XT M8000 11-speed rear derailleur is designed to reign authority over today’s aggressive style of trail and all-mountain riding.
