Built for rugged E-MTB adventures, the Shimano XT M8260 derailleur combines wireless Di2 shifting with Shimanos LinkGlide (11-speed) or HyperGlide+ (12-speed) drivetrain compatibility for long-lasting, reliable performance. Drawing power directly from your e-bikes main battery, it eliminates the need for a separate derailleur battery while delivering consistent, precision shifts. With added durability and advanced technologies like Auto Shift and Free Shift, this derailleur adapts to your ride in real time, whether youre pedaling or coasting.

• Durable Design: Built to last, especially when paired with a LinkGlide orHyperGlide+ cassette for extended drivetrain life.
