Shimano RD-M8000 XT 11 Speed Rear Derailleur

Shimano’s Direct Mount compatible Rear Derailleur system gives more space around the rear frame dropout resulting in easier rear wheel removal but also allows frame designers to shorten chain stays, increase axle sizes and move suspension pivots

Direct Mount gives a simpler, cleaner look
