Product Details - Shimano Deore Xt Di2 Rd-r8050 11-speed Gs Rear Derailleur

The SHIMANO RD-M8050 XT DI2 rear derailleur brings electronic shifting precision to your mountain bike setup.

This GS medium cage model delivers smooth, reliable gear changes across 11-speed drivetrains, making it ideal for varied terrain and riding styles. The SHADOW+ design keeps the chain secure during technical descents, while the E-TUBE compatibility ensures seamless integration with SHIMANO's digital shifting system. Built for performance-focused riders who demand accuracy without compromise.


Features 

  • Programmed automatic motion at the touch of a switch makes this derailleur quick, smooth and effortless to shift
  • The removal of traditional mechanical cables in favour of electrical wires not only eliminates poor shifting caused by contaminates, corrosion and stretching
  • Using Shimano's shadow plus technology and lowest profile to date, the M8050 will help you squeeze through the narrowest of trails without worry
  • Derailleur contains a saver (fuse) function, where the inner structure is protected from strong impacts
  • Synchro Shift compatible means both front and rear shifting can be done through the use of one shifter, which can be fully customized to suit your riding needs
  • Aluminium pulley plates for weight saving and durability
  • Specifically designed to work with 11-speed Dyna-Sys11 cassette and drivetrain
  • 11-speed E-tube Di2 compatible
