Shimano Deore XT RD-M8130 Rear Derailleur - Shadow RD+ | 1x11-speed | long (SGS) - black

Shimano Deore XT M8100 - The world is your canvas.

The original MTB group continues its legacy of remaining the standard for mountainbikers everywhere. Nearly three decades in, the Deore XT brand is defined by its trail-tested durability, reliability and performance. As mountainbiking becomes faster and faster and the terrain even more technical, the M8100 series aims to give the rider the necessary feeling of confidence and safety.

Shimano Deore XT RD-M8130-SGS Shadow RD+ rear derailleur

The Shimano Deore XT RD-M8130-SGS rear derailleur achieves smooth and reliable shifting performance thanks to LinkGlide technology. Like its sister models, however, it still enables fast and precise gear changes over a wide transmission range.

A secure and stable chainline prevents the chain from jumping off on rough Trails in the mountains. The guide and tension pulleys with 13 teeth and sealed bearings as well as a rubber damper also provide more stability, which also dampens noise and thus increases riding comfort.

The MTB-optimised rear derailleur with a flat profile is suitable for 1x11-speed drivetrain systems and matched to the E-Bike components of the Shimano STePS EP800 series.

LinkGlide

LinkGlide enables smoother, smoother pedalling and gear changes that are barely noticeable. The drivetrain is exceptionally durable, withstands daily wear and tear and provides long-lasting good shifting and pedalling performance, especially for multi-purpose bikes and high-torque E-Bikes.

The optimised design of the LinkGlide shift aids provides a smoother transition between sprockets to avoid jumps that can affect shifting and a rounded pedal. The redesigned LinkGlide sprockets themselves feature a much stronger base and a unique chamfer that dramatically improves wear resistance in high torque applications.
