SHIMANO is probably one of the most famous and popular manufacturers of quality bicycle parts and accessories in the world. Parts from this manufacturer are more or less used in most of the bicycles Founded in 1921 in Japan, the company currently has perhaps the widest range of products for both amateurs and professionals. Every year, innovations are introduced that allow cyclists to shift gears more precisely, brake more efficiently or finish the track faster. Currently the company is expanding the offer of electronic gear shifting mechanisms and electric bicycle parts more and more. The range of products is not limited to bicycle parts, clothing for cyclists is offered as well.
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.
Product technical specifications
-
Optimised mechanical shifting performance: Precise, cable-actuated shifting with shorter lever travel and improved ergonomics for maximum control
-
Low-profile design: SHIMANO SHADOW ES technology utilises a wedge-shaped construction that reduces the front surface area of the rear derailleur and minimises potential contact points with stones and roots
-
Particularly robust construction: A wide, sturdily supported pivot and solid derailleur pulleys reduce the ingress of dirt and increase durability
-
Chain stabilisation: The redesigned double-spring system generates higher chain tension, thereby improving chain guidance and chain retention

TECHNOLOGIES
SHADOW ES
– This construction is characterized by a low profile, which reduces the forward-facing surface of the rear derailleur. As a result, the rear derailleur features no protruding edges that could get caught on stones or roots.
