Go wireless with Shimano's Deore XT Di2 in one complete upgrade kit. The GP-M8250 combines the long-cage RD-M8250-SGS rear derailleur, BT-DN320 battery, EC-DN100 charger, and SW-M8250R clamp-band shifter — everything you need to convert any Shimano 12-speed drivetrain to precise, cable-free electronic shifting.

Highlights

  • Fully wireless Di2 shifting — no cables, no housing, no cable stretch
  • Automatic Impact Recovery instantly repositions the derailleur after a trail strike
  • 23 mm additional ground clearance compared to previous XT derailleurs
  • SHADOW ES chain stabilisation reduces chain slap and drop on rough terrain
  • Long-cage SGS derailleur handles 10-51T wide-range cassettes
  • BT-DN320 battery charges in approximately 90 minutes via USB-C (EC-DN100 charger included)
  • SW-M8250R shifter features multi-axis adjustability, hold-down multi-shift, and 2-step double-shift
  • Programmable third button via the Shimano E-TUBE PROJECT app

Wireless Shifting Reimagined

The RD-M8250-SGS communicates via Bluetooth Low Energy and ANT Private, pairing directly with the SW-M8250R wireless shifter — no junction box or wiring required. Shift mode customisation, firmware updates, and third-button assignment are all handled through the free E-TUBE PROJECT app. The result is a clean cockpit and a drivetrain that adapts to your riding style.

Built for Trail Abuse

Shimano's Automatic Impact Recovery detects when the derailleur has been deflected by a rock or root and uses the motor to snap it back into position instantly, without the rider noticing. A wedge-shaped profile adds 23 mm of ground clearance versus the previous generation, while the wide-link cage, protective skid plate, and covered pulleys guard against debris. SHADOW ES dual-spring chain stabilisation keeps the chain firmly in place on rough descents without a separate chain guide.

Comfort-First Ergonomics

The SW-M8250R Rapid ES shifter attaches via standard clamp band (22.2 mm) and features multi-axis reach and angle adjustment so it sits perfectly in your hand. Short-stroke paddles make rapid shifting effortless, and hold-down multi-shift lets you dump multiple gears in one motion when the trail demands it.

Compatibility & Fit

Designed for Shimano 12-speed Hyperglide+ drivetrains. The RD-M8250-SGS long-cage variant supports cassettes up to 51T (10-51T range). Compatible with standard B-screw hanger mounting. The SW-M8250R uses a 22.2 mm clamp band, suitable for any standard handlebar. Existing Shimano 12-speed cassette, chain, chainring, and crankset are retained — only the rear derailleur, shifter, battery, and charger are replaced. Works with XTR, XT, SLX, and Deore 12-speed Hyperglide+ cassettes and chains.
