About SHIMANO RD-M772 XT Shadow Rear Derailleur, GS

Shimano has created a third rear derailleur option to join the ranks of the Top-Normal and Low-Normal versions: The Shadow. With a lower profile design, less body movement, increased protection and lighter weight, this medium cage, rear derailleur is the perfect option for those of us who are more at home on extreme technical trails. Top-normal design offers crisp, clean, derailleur-controlled shifts to hard gears, allowing excellent shifting under heavy load and acceleration -- particularly with RapidFire shifters In high gear, the derailleur has a profile that is a full 15mm less than a traditional rear derailleur and barely protrudes past the quick release nut to give you extra protection Direct cable routing uses less cable, so it's lighter, shifts faster and reduces the chance of getting caught up on roots and rocks Derailleur body with a stronger spring provides snappy shifting, more stability and less bounce in rough terrain Redesigned bracket axle prevents the derailleur body from contacting the chainstay for smooth, silent performance 11T sealed bearing pulleys run quieter and spin smoother for long-lasting performance Four fluorine coated link pivot pins minimize friction and increase shifting response Aluminum construction for lightweight strength Medium cage design
