Top-rated products in the Rear derailleurs category
Here's a ranking of the top rated products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've also added some key information about the products.
1. Shimano Deore XT RD-M8100
The Deore XT M8000 derailleur was already known for its smooth gear shifts and quiet chain operation. With the M8100, these features have been further improved, allowing for even faster shifting. To accommodate the extreme range of cassettes with 10-51 teeth, the derailleur has been completely redesigned. The indexing rollers are positioned to keep the chain at an optimal distance from the cassette in all gears. Their size has also increased to 13 teeth. This not only provides better guidance for the chain but also ensures a quieter and more efficient operation. Additionally, the Shadow+ system prevents annoying chain slap on uneven terrain. To achieve the best performance, Shimano recommends using this derailleur only with 1x 12-speed drivetrains.
2. Shimano Tourney RD-TY300 rear derailleur 6/7-speed direct mount
This durable derailleur from Shimano controls the movement of the bicycle chain on the rear sprockets of the cassette. High reliability characterizes this gear shift: with the Tourney, you can ride your bike safely and quickly. Designed for easy direct mounting.
3. Sram GX Eagle Lunar
Derailleurs are meant to do their job, whether climbing under load or during the final meters of a race stage. The GX Eagle derailleur reliably fulfills this task. An improved architecture ensures even better chain management. It has been designed to work seamlessly with the new 10-52 tooth cassettes while remaining fully backward compatible with 10-50. We leave the choice to the rider, as it should be. Part of the Eagle color system, it matches any chain and cassette color you choose. The GX Eagle derailleur simply always does its job.
4. Shimano Deore XT RD-M8000
With the latest and completely revised version of the Deore XT group, the Japanese manufacturer takes your shifting performance to a new level. The new XT group meets the diverse demands of cross-country bikers, trail bike enthusiasts, and enduro racers convincingly, presenting itself as the most versatile high-performance shifting group from Japan. The Deore XT RD-M8000 derailleur features optimized Shadow+ technology with a flat angle and an extremely low profile, keeping sensitive components out of harm's way. Shifting performance has been enhanced through newly designed jockey wheels and optimized for cross-running chains. Additionally, you have the option to adjust the mechanism for minimal operating forces or maximum stability. The Deore XT derailleur allows for precise and lightning-fast gear changes exactly when you need them and keeps the chain secure—even on the roughest trails. Enduro fans can also forgo an additional chain guide, as the Shimano Clutch System maintains high tension on the chain. The new Deore XT derailleur is suitable for regular 2x use, as well as for bikers who prefer to ride with just one front chainring and 11 cogs at the rear.

7. Shimano Xt Rd-m786
A switch on the cage regulates the spring tension to prevent the chain from jumping. Sudden movements of the chain often lead to significant noise when the chain strikes the chainstay from above or below, or in extreme conditions, even to it jumping off the front chainring. In the ON position, the switch dampens the derailleur cage, thereby reducing chain movement for a quieter and more stable riding experience. With the switch in the OFF position, the derailleur makes it easier to install and remove the rear wheel by relaxing the derailleur spring. The narrow profile of the derailleur significantly reduces damage on narrow and challenging trails. Additionally, the Shadow derailleur has greater vertical stability, preventing it from striking the chainstay. The derailleur is always precisely positioned and operates perfectly. The derailleur pulleys with sealed bearings run quieter and last longer due to their alternating contact with the inner and outer chain links.
