Product Details

Precise wireless Di2 shifting for E-MTB compatibility. The ultra-robust XT M8260 12-speed rear derailleur with long cage offers features that everyone will appreciate. The rear derailleur uses the same wireless Di2 shifting technology and other strengths of the XT, but is powered by the e-bike's main battery, ensuring a stable power supply.

What doesn't get hit can't get broken - the flat, wedge-shaped design of the new XT rear derailleur prevents most stone chips and impacts on the trail. And if an impact does occur, the rear derailleur can slide off obstacles on the trail thanks to the smooth outer coating, preventing catastrophic damage. The automatic impact recovery function immediately returns the derailleur motor to its original position after an impact, while the wide joint structure, durable carbon plate, skid plate design and solid derailleur pulleys ensure robustness and durability.
