Precise wireless Di2 shifting designed for E-MTB with both LINKGLIDE and HYPERGLIDE+ compatibility. The ultra-durable RD-M8260 long-cage rear derailleur is available in both 11-speed (LINKGLIDE compatible) and 12-speed (HYPERGLIDE + compatible). The 12-speed version pairs best with the CS-M8200 10-51 cassette, while both deliver features all riders can appreciate. The derailleur taps into proven wireless Di2 shifting technology and other strengths of the trusted XT group, while pulling power from the bike's main battery, delivering a stable power supply, and eliminating the need for a separate battery for the rear derailleur.
