Ride it all with Shimano's SLX Dyna-Sys 10-Speed Shadow Rear Derailleur. The radical design means that the Shadow is super-low profile; it barely protrudes more than the quick release nut. Direct cable routing fires off shifts super quick and reduces the chance of the cable snagging on roots and rocks. A stronger spring keeps the body more stable when blasting through technical terrain at speed and yields a firm, crisp shifting feel. Plus, the bracket axle keeps the derailleur body from contacting your chainstay and reduces chatter so you just concentrate on the best line.

Shimano's Deore XT Rear Derailleur handles the pressure! Its low-normal design moves the chain to the easy-pedaling gears (large cogs) with very little shift-lever pressure so it's easy to shift while climbing. Plus, the wide pivot design increases rigidity and longevity for miles and miles of crisp shifts. This combination of efficiency and light weight have long made the XT a favorite of racers and freeriders alike.
