The most robust DEORE XT mechanical rear derailleur to date promises a reliable, robust ride for every discipline. It's based around a modern hanger and a new low-profile, wedge-shaped design to avoid impacts on the trail. If it does hit rocks or roots, a spring inside the derailleur helps it absorb impact and return to its original position. With a 510% gear range, the RD-M8200 derailleur is suitable for every ride, be it an enduro race or all-day adventure; pair it with a 10-51T cassette for a wider gear range.

• 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 for a worry-free ride.
• Covered Pulleys/Cage: The solid pulley and shielded pulley teeth prevent trail debris from jamming up your flow.
