Durable Di2 performance with auto-shift smarts from Shimano’s XT E-MTB Long Cage Derailleur
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I’ve used both 11- and 12-speed setups with this derailleur and love how seamlessly it integrates with the XT group. The HYPERGLIDE+ cassette makes the 12-speed version shift unbelievably fast under load, and the LINKGLIDE version just keeps going and going with no drama. It’s the no-compromise choice for e-MTB."
Shimano’s XT Long Cage Di2 Rear Derailleur for E-MTBs brings unmatched reliability and responsiveness to e-bike drivetrains. Whether you're dialing in a long-wearing LINKGLIDE 11-speed or chasing high-speed precision with HYPERGLIDE+ 12-speed, the wireless Di2 system ensures lightning-fast shifts without the need for a separate derailleur battery. This system taps straight into your e-bike’s power source, giving you stable performance with no extra charge cycles.
Tough from top to bottom, the derailleur features a wide-link design, reinforced pulley plates, and a rugged skid plate that absorbs punishment on rock-strewn descents. SHADOW ES tech controls chain movement for a quiet, stable ride, while Automatic Impact Recovery instantly resets derailleur alignment after impact.
With Shimano’s AUTO SHIFT and FREE SHIFT technologies baked in, your drivetrain adapts as you ride. Whether you're hammering climbs or coasting into corners, this derailleur keeps you one shift ahead of the terrain.
