The Shimano Deore XT M8000 rear derailleur delivers reliable and precise shifting with a stiff and lightweight open design. Its Shadow cage has a slant angle that’s been optimised for use with larger sprockets and it features a super low profile design that reduces the risk of damage. The Shadow Plus system uses a chain stabilising switch that when on, reduces chain bounce in rough terrain maintaining a more stable drive and reliable shifting. This can be switched off to remove the wheel. The Direct Mount system on the Shimano Deore XT M8000 rear derailleur 11 Speed model gives you more space around the rear frame dropout. This results in easier rear wheel removal but also allows frame designers to shorten chain stays, increase axle sizes and move suspension pivots.

An exciting addition for Deore XT M8000 is a 1x11 specific 11-42T cassette that expands Shimano's 1x11 gear range slightly over the race inspired 11-40T of XTR. Featuring Rhythm Step progression the Deore M8000 maintains calculated, shock-free gear steps from one gear to the next. The implementation of this allows you to conserve energy as well as keeping up your speed and rhythm on the trail. Combined with a premium 11-speed chain featuring HG-X11 asymmetric plate design and SIL-TEC surface treatment, the Deore XT M8000 results in superior mountain biking performance.

The Shimano Deore XT M8000 rear derailleur receives a complete makeover and as a result it features Shimano's pioneering Shadow RD technology and a refined geometry for increased stability. The Shadow Plus rear derailleur follow the range topping XTR in providing a lighter shift effort, with external adjustability and increased clutch tension range, and an even lower profile for improved clearance from trail hazards. The derailleur provides a light action through the shifter which results in a positive and perfectly executed shift as well as a smooth journey throughout the cassette.

As arguably the most tactile part of Shimano s new Deore XT M8000 groupset, the shifters play a vital aesthetic and ergonomic part. The dimpled long sweep paddle, grooved release paddle and optislick cable provide a 20% decrease in shift effort, crucial for the long distance endurance racer, and create an enhanced interface between rider and controls.The XT shifter paddles are now slightly longer and more textured, with dimples on the thumb lever used for upshifts and vertical ridges on the smaller downshift trigger intended to provide a more positive surface to reach for in wet conditions. Like the previous version, they feature multi-release shifting, which allows riders to downshift two gears with one push of the lever whilst an improved vivid indexing mechanism guarantees shift accuracy. The ball bearing construction and slick-polymer coated shift cable enable a smooth activation.

Shimano Deore XT M8000 I-Spec B ShifterThis mountain bike (MTB) shifter is well-equipped for the demands of modern trail-riding, exploring new routes and all-day epics in the mountains. It features a comfortable ergonomic design with a long lever body and an anti-slip texture on the main paddle, so riders can benefit from strong and dependable shifting performance on every ride. Coming complete with many of Shimano's renowned technologies such as Rapidfire Plus and 2-Way Release, this is an excellent choice for reliable shifting in all weather and terrain conditions. One final highlight is this version uses Shimano's I-Spec B integrated mounting system for a cleaner and lighter bar setup.Features: Use: Mountain Bike (MTB) Speed: 11 speed Mount Type: I-Spec B Shifter Orientation: Right hand Single or Pair: Single Shifter Type: RapidFire Plus Max Multiple Shifts: 4 Multi-Bearing Construction: 2 Optical Gear Display: No Release Function: 2-Way Release, Instant Release Shifting Lever Cable Adjust: Yes Shifting Lever Position Adjust: Yes Weight: 117g (approx)Technologies: Multi Release: Previous shifting systems shifted faster in one direction than the other. Choosing top normal or low normal always meant sacrificing shifting speed in one direction. Now with Multi Release you can release shift two gears in one stroke. The result - the fastest possible shifting in both directions regardless of rear derailleur choice. Optislick: Optislick cables feature a minimal and uniform electrically coated layer that improves cable routing efficiency and provides excellent corrosion resistance. I-Spec B: Integration mounting system of the shifter and brake lever. It can realise clean appearance, more space for handlebar area and lightweight. SP41: With OT-SP41 the entire length of the outer casing is pre-lubricated with a special silicone grease for quick and precise shifting performance. OT-SP41 maximally reduces the inner cable friction to provide quick response to operations and easy/effortless shifting. Moreover, power loss due to delay in shifting and fatigue by shifting especially when you ride on the terrain with many ups and downs as well as a long-distance is also reduced. Rapidfire Plus: Mountain bikers have used Rapidfire Plus since 1985. Rapidfire Plus is still a winning choice from a wide range of riders from XC racers to freeriders. Rapidfire Plus is suited to quick shifting, giving riders the ability to downshift three gears in one stroke. Rapidfire Plus shifters from Deore to XTR all feature 2-way Release, which means release shifts by pull of the index finger or push of the thumb. 2-Way Release: The Rapidfire Plus shifter release lever is commonly called a trigger because it is operated like a pistol, by pulling toward the grip. The release lever of Rapidfire Plus shifters from Shimano Alivio to XTR can be operated in this same manner but adds the ability to activate a release shift by pushing with the thumb. Instant Release: Instant Release shifting replaces the two-stage click and release shifting you are familiar with. Instant Release shifting releases cable as soon the lever is activated, resulting in the quickest possible gear changes. Whether it is an upshift with a top normal rear derailleur or a downshift with low normal rear derailleur a quicker shift is always a better shift.Manufacturer's Part Number: 85205404 Black 2050mm Right 11spA 2-year warranty is offered with all Shimano products from Chain Reaction Cycles (3 years on Dura-Ace and XTR products).Buy Shimano Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
