Deore XT 10-speed rear derailleur delivers reliable and precise shifting with a stiff and lightweight design.

Shimano's Direct Mount compatible Rear Derailleur system gives more space around the rear frame dropout resulting in easier rear wheel removal but also allows frame designers to shorten chain stays, increase axel sizes and move suspension pivots.

All-alloy construction leads to lower weight without compromising strength and durability. Four fluorine-coated link pin bushings make this one of the slickest shifting derailleurs on the trails.

High rigidity wide outer link braces the pulley body to increase pivot joint rigidity resulting in a crisp shift. Improved cable pull ratio provides a more accurate shift action making the system less prone to contamination and trail chatter.
