The Hyperglide (HG) sprockets on the Shimano XT M8000 cassette enable the chain to move smoothly across the cassette even under load, resulting in a crisp shifting movement when required. These advanced sprockets have a computer designed tooth configuration with contoured shift gates, resulting in a crisp smooth shift even under load. Also, the close-ratio gearing enables more efficient use of energy through finer cadence control. That's not all, as the light and durable sprockets on the Shimano Deore XT M8000 mountain bike cassette are cut away and drilled to further reduce weight without reducing rigidity and their chrome-plated finish offers hard wearing resistance to corrosion.
Close ratio gear combination for minimum shifting gap provides improved cadence while reducing pedal effort. HG-X chainring with patented spike pins gives smooth and fast gear shifts under load. Stiffness and strength increased with advanced design due to wider spaced bearings and oversized axle.
Light to the touch but positive and crisp, the Shimano XT M8000 shifter has Vivid indexing, which provides a constant amount of shift lever. Plus, with the 2-Way release function, the upper lever still performs the same shift function, but it can now swing in either direction. This gear lever also has a Multi Release feature that allows multiple gear changes with one sweep, further adding to the speed of shift. There’s also a multi-bearing design on this Shimano Deore XT shifter - 11 speed uses two ball bearing units to provide a low-friction and reliable shifting action. Please Note: As this shifter is designed to be combined with a Shimano I-Spec II brake lever, it does not come with its own round handlebar clamp.
This Shimano XT shifter - 11 speed offers positive and crisp Vivid indexing and provides a constant amount of shift lever force across all 11 sprockets creating perfect gear changing. Plus, with the 2-Way release function, the upper lever still performs the same shift function, but it can now swing in either direction. This gear lever also has a Multi Release feature that allows multiple gear changes with one sweep, further adding to the speed of shift. There’s also a multi-bearing design on this Shimano XT 11 speed bar mount shifter that uses two ball bearing units to provide a low-friction and reliable shifting action.
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.
