Shimano XT Di2 SC-MT800 display

The new Shimano XT 11-speed Di2 electronic components, wireless-enabled via a Bluetooth interface, designed for use ranging from cross-country to enduro. Thanks to the wireless function, the XT Di2 groupset can be programmed via a smartphone or tablet

Shimano Di2 Display SC-MT800:

The display also serves as the wireless interface for the XT Di2. The control centre for the programmable XT Di2 components offers the option to select three different shifting modes: Syncro 1, Syncro 2 and manual. In addition, the SC-MT800 functions as a distributor (Junction Port A) for the shift levers to the SM-JC distributor (Junction Port B) and features a charging socket with a USB connection.

Shimano XT SC MT800 Display Compatibility:

The Shimano XT Di2 SC MT800 display is compatible with the XT Di2 and XTR Di2 rear derailleurs (RD M8050 and RDM9050) and front derailleurs (FD M9050 and FD M8050). The SC-MT800 display can also be used to convert the XTR Di2 drivetrain to wireless.

Shimano XT Di2:

Shimano’s XT M8050 Di2 shifting system enables the seamless control and immediate response that only digital shifting with the M8000 Rhythm Step drivetrain can offer. The combination of Di2 with close gear ratios means that shifting becomes second nature. Less effort is required when shifting, and superb ergonomics ensure effortless shifting, allowing your hand to remain firmly on the handlebars, so you always have perfect control over riding manoeuvres and gear changes. With the XT Di2 system, gear changes are virtually effortless, even on the MTB groupset, achieved by briefly or firmly pressing the Firebolt shift levers.

Shimano XT Di2 programming:

Individual assignment of shifting functions and shift levers is possible. Control of the front derailleur can be assigned from the left to the right shift lever, and that of the rear derailleur from the right to the left. The programmable Multi-Shift function allows you to shift through a maximum of all eleven gears at once whilst holding down the shift lever. Furthermore, the entire drivetrain, including the front derailleur and rear derailleur, can be operated using a single Firebolt shifter. Shimano calls this feature Synchro Shift. Depending on the position of the rear derailleur, the front derailleur knows when it needs to shift and carries out the corresponding gear changes at the crankset. The shifting speed is also programmable.

Shimano Di2 installation:

Installing Shimano Di2 components is almost easier than fitting traditional gear systems. The standardised E-Tube cable connectors and junction boxes ensure straightforward and quick installation. The shift lever(s) are connected to the display. The display acts as Junction Port A and a wireless interface. A cable runs from the display to the junction box (Junction B), and from there the cables run to the rear derailleur, front derailleur and battery. The battery can be mounted externally on the bottle cage, or internally in the seat tube, down tube or steerer tube. Frames specifically designed for this purpose are required for internal cable routing.

Shimano Di2 Junction B Port:

The Junction B distribution box is responsible for connecting the rear derailleur, front derailleur, battery and shift levers. The Junction B port is available in two versions: the internal SMJC41, for fully internal routing, and the SMJC40 for mounting beneath the bottom bracket, should fully internal routing not be possible.

The SMBTC1 battery holder is available as an option. This allows for external mounting of the SMBTR2 round battery. At the same time, the SMBTC1 battery holder provides the Junction B connections – a total of 6 ports – meaning the additional Junction B port is not required. The additional 2 ports not used by the drivetrain can be used to power electric suspension components.
