Shimano Deore XT M8000 Front Derailleur
Description
Shimano's FD-M8000 reigns authority over your 3x XT crankset with a bold new design and approach. Designed specifically to tame front shifting on long travel trail bikes, Shimano XT derailleurs provide increased traction to prevent chain rub. Additionally, they offers more tire clearance by 15mm to accommodate the wider tires of Enduro bikes.
A simple, yet dramatic change in the cable routing and pivot mechanism of something as standard as a front derailleur is the kind of innovation that has made Shimano legendary. With Side Swing technology, they've taken something that is totally commonplace in the bike industry and made a "why-didn't-I think-of-that" improvement in cable routing to reduce the amount of shifting effort needed to actuate the shifting. Designed for larger wheels and longer travel, XT M8000 brings Shimano's industry-leading front-end shifting to a previously unknown level.
