Shimano America XTR RD-M972 Shadow Rear Derailleur
The Shadow Rear Derailleur exhibits the same precision shifting as all of Shimano's XTR components, but also includes carbon fiber construction for reduced weight. Shimano used direct routing to reduce the chances that you'll snag a cable during your ride. The XTR Shadow Rear Derailleur's low-profile design keeps it from slapping against the chain stay when you're ripping through the chunder, and the strong return spring allows effortless shifting in both directions.
Bottom Line: See just how precise shifting can be when you upgrade your bike with the Shimano XTR Shadow Rear Derailleur.
