The new XT T8000, equipped with trekking-specific components, offers top-notch functionality for demanding riders, just like its counterpart for mountain biking. The Shadow rear derailleur, used for the first time in the trekking segment, ensures a sleek silhouette. Together with the shifters and the new Optislick cables, the RD-T8000 guarantees smooth and precise gear changes.

The extremely minimized profile of the Shimano Shadow derailleurs brings a range of advancements. Due to its flat design and the simple pre-tension construction, the derailleur does not hit the chainstay even under the harshest conditions. The shifting operates more cleanly and quietly.
