Shimano - XT Di2 - M8250-SGS 12-speed Rear Derailleur

Deore XT – Where Passion Meets Precision.

With its introduction in the 1980s, the Deore XT series revolutionized mountain biking. And its current iteration more than lives up to this legacy. The revised Di2 design stands out in particular, being now completely wireless and enabling correspondingly fast and reliable shifting. This is not the only point where it ties in with the recently launched XTR M9200 series. With its likewise robust drivetrain construction and sophisticated braking system, the Deore XT M8200 is a groupset that not only effortlessly withstands real-world riding situations, but also redefines what is possible on two wheels.

Tried And True Meets All New. Technologically, the Deore XT rear derailleur of the M8250 series is in no way inferior to its XTR counterpart. The only difference is the aluminum cage, which is no less resistant. Thanks to the as well used Shadow ES construction, also the XT model features a slim, wedge-shaped low profile design. And also the stabilizer fits seamlessly into the housing of the electronic Di2 rear derailleur, so that there are no edges that could come into contact with obstacles on the trail. The result is a significantly reduced risk of stone strikes or hits.

If an impact does occur, the rear derailleur not only absorbs it, but is immediately returned to its original position with the help of the automatic recovery function. Furthermore, the innovative chain stabilization technology with its double spring design ensures higher chain tension and correspondingly better chain retention. To extend the service life, the wide, cleverly arranged linkage in combination with the robust derailleur pulleys minimize the risk of dirt ingress. No less well protected is the battery (not included), which is located inside the rear derailleur housing and cannot slip even in rough terrain, but can still be easily removed when the next charge is due.
