Shimano XT RD-M8260 Di2 E-MTB 12 Speed Rear Derailleur

  • Direct Wired Power: The RD-M8260 draws energy directly from your existing e-MTB battery, ensuring a constant, reliable power source for smooth, uninterrupted Di2 shifting.
  • Robust Trail-Ready Design: Built for demanding riders, the wide-link structure, aluminium skid plate, and reinforced pulley system offer exceptional durability and impact resistance.
  • Automatic Impact Recovery: Shimano’s RD Protection Function instantly repositions the derailleur after a knock or crash — keeping your shifting sharp and precise.
  • SHIMANO SHADOW ES Technology: A sleeker, stronger evolution of the original SHADOW RD+ concept, delivering unmatched chain stability across rugged terrain.
  • Fast, Precise Shifting: Combined with HYPERGLIDE+ cassette technology, the XT Di2 derailleur provides lightning-fast, smooth gear transitions under heavy load — ideal for aggressive E-MTB riding.
  • AUTO SHIFT & FREE SHIFT Technology: Let the system do the thinking. AUTO SHIFT selects the optimal gear as you pedal, while FREE SHIFT enables automatic gear changes while coasting — so you're always in the right gear, even when you're not pedalling.

Experience next-generation E-MTB performance with the Shimano XT RD-M8260 Di2 12-Speed Rear Derailleur — built for riders who demand fast, precise, and reliable electronic shifting on every trail. Engineered for HYPERGLIDE+ drivetrains, this long-cage derailleur pairs perfectly with the Shimano CS-M8200 10-51T cassette, delivering seamless gear changes even under the toughest loads.

Powered directly from your e-bike’s main battery, the XT RD-M8260 eliminates the need for separate charging, providing a stable power supply and consistent Di2 performance ride after ride. Whether you’re tackling steep climbs or flowing descents, this E-MTB derailleur brings the legendary Shimano XT durability and precision to your electric mountain bike setup.
