Di2 wireless shifting designed to be compatible with E-MTBs and HYPERGLIDE+

The ultra-durable RD-M8260 long cage, 12-speed rear derailleur pairs best with the CS-M8200 10-51 cassette to give you the features that all riders appreciate. The derailleur uses the same Di2 wireless shifting technology and strengths as the XT range, utilising the stable power supply of the bike's main battery, delivering stable power and eliminating the need for a spare battery.

Features

• Direct wiring: The M8260 is powered by your e-bike battery to provide you with a constant source of shifting power.
• Robust design: The wide link structure, skid plate design, aluminium plate durability and pulley strength add robustness and longevity.
