Designed for the most demanding mountain biking conditions, the Deore XT RD-M8100-SGSShimano offers fast, precise and quiet gear changes on 12-speed single-chainring drivetrains. Developed to work with the Shimano 10–51-tooth cassettes, it guarantees a wide range of gear ratios to tackle both long climbs and technical descents.
Thanks to SHIMANO SHADOW RD+ technology, this derailleur minimises chain movement on rough terrain, reducing the risk of derailment and unwanted noise. Its low-profile design also protects it from impacts with stones and obstacles encountered on the trails. The oversized 13-tooth pulleys improve chain guidance whilst optimising drivetrain efficiency.
With its long SGS cage, the RD-M8100 is specially designed for wide-range 1x12 drivetrains. It is an excellent choice for replacing a worn derailleur or for improving the performance of a trail, enduro or cross-country bike fitted with a 12-speed Shimano r drivetrain.

Long cage derailleur for single chainring 12 speed (Translated review)
More reliable over time than SRAM GX, easy to adjust. (Translated review)
Replaced identically because mine took a big branch that bent it. (I had already replaced a plate that can be found as a spare part, but this one was really dead) (Translated review)
Excellent derailleur. Metal cage. 2 times cheaper than the XTR which has a more fragile carbon cage (Translated review)
This is the second one. The other one got a stone and went into the spokes. It works well, the adjustment is simple, see the tutorials on YouTube, it stabilizes the settings, good gear. (Translated review)
I replaced my SHIMANO XTR 11v with this Deore XT -8100 SGS 12V following a material upgrade, everything works without any problem. Kudos for the speed of sending bike material (Translated review)
I replaced my SRAM GX eagle 12v directly with the new XT 12v, everything is 100% compatible, no chain length to adjust or shifter to change, only my derailleur is Shimano, the rest is SRAM, these Japanese are too good. Be careful with the cable tightening, there are 2 possibilities (one works, the other does not), finally the smooth gears like in the days when Shimano dominated MTB. 2 times cheaper than an X01 eagle. It's going to hurt... Also, congratulations for the delivery, 3 days in a relay point, it's great, and nice price. I will order again on this site. (Translated review)
