Shimano XT Rear Derailleur RD M8130 Linkglide

The new Shimano XT 11-speed Linkglide components, designed for use on e-bikes. All components in the Linkglide series – rear derailleurs, shift levers, cassettes and chains – are specially designed to meet the requirements of e-bikes. These have significantly higher torque. The Shimano Linkglide components are optimised for these loads.

Shimano XT RD-M8130 rear derailleur:

The XT RDM 8130 GS long-cage rear derailleur for use on e-bikes and with the XT 2-speed and 1-speed cranksets from the 11-speed series. The XT Shadow Plus 8130 rear derailleur shifts with extreme precision, speed and smoothness. The new, slimmer design, fluorine-coated stainless steel bushings and extremely precise machined fits ensure high shifting precision and a long service life.

Shimano Shadow Plus:

The Shimano Shadow Plus mechanism has been further developed on the XT RD-M8000 rear derailleur. With the ability to adjust the friction damper as desired via a screw mechanism, the system can be tuned to prioritise maximum stability or minimal operating forces. Furthermore, the rear derailleur features an even slimmer profile, which protects it from damage and further reduces operating forces thanks to the flat angle of engagement.

Shimano XT 8130 Rear Derailleur Compatibility:

The new Shimano 11-speed XT Linkglide series is only compatible with the XT SLM 8130 shift levers. The HG-LG500 chain and the CS-LG600 cassette are recommended. Approved by Shimano only for these Linkglide chains and cassettes with 11-50 teeth.
