The most robust DEORE XT mechanical rear derailleur to date promises a reliable, robust ride for every discipline. It's based around a modern hanger and a new low-profile, wedge-shaped design to avoid impacts on the trail. If it does hit rocks or roots, a spring inside the derailleur helps it absorb impact and return to its original position.
