The DEORE M7200 12-speed mechanical rear derailleur carries forward all the new technology of the XT M8200 but utilizes a strong steel pulley cage in its long-cage construction. This adds nominal weight but also ups durability of an already-robust structure. The derailleur's wide link structure adds strength, and its wedge-shaped design helps dodge impacts on the trail. Pair with the HYPERGLIDE+ 12-speed 10-51T cassette and DEORE M6200 shifter for a stout, reliable, fast-shifting drivetrain suitable for all trail rides.

• SHADOW ES: A slimmer, stronger evolution of Shimano's pioneering chain-stabilizing SHADOW concept, with a wide link structure for durability.
• Long Cage: Compatible with all HYPERGLIDE+ 10-51T 12-speed cassettes.
• Wedge-Shaped Design: Made to move out of the way to absorb trail impacts.
• Steel Pulley Cage: Adds extra strength and durability to the design.
