Details

Shimano's Deore XT Rear Derailleur handles the pressure! Its low-normal design moves the chain to the easy-pedaling gears (large cogs) with very little shift-lever pressure so it's easy to shift while climbing. Plus, the wide pivot design increases rigidity and longevity for miles and miles of crisp shifts. This combination of efficiency and light weight have long made the XT a favorite of racers and freeriders alike.

An important part of a rear derailleur's job is keeping the chain taut as you change gears. Chain-wrap capacity is a number that tells whether or not a derailleur will be able to do this on the drivetrain you plan to use it on. Calculate chain-wrap capacity with this formula: Chain-wrap capacity = (large chainring - small chainring) + (large rear cog - small rear cog). Example: 44/29 chainrings and a 11-28 cassette: (44 - 29 = 15) + (28 - 11 = 17) = 32-tooth chain-wrap capacity.
