Shimano Deore XT RD-T8000 rear derailleur, 10-speed long cage

The trekking-focused Deore XT rear derailleur, built for loaded touring and commuting bikes running a wide 10-speed range. Its low-profile Shadow design tucks the derailleur in behind the frame, out of the way of trail obstacles and kerbside knocks.

Consistent under load

Stable, repeatable shifting is what a touring drivetrain needs most, and the T8000 holds its adjustment through long distances and dirty conditions with a light action at the lever.

Compatibility and fit

For Shimano 10-speed drivetrains using a matching 10-speed shifter. The SGS long cage suits wide-range and triple chainring setups. Fits a standard derailleur hanger, and is also direct mount compatible. Shimano lists it as the replacement for the RD-M786 and RD-M781. If you are unsure which cage length your gearing needs, ask us before you order.
