Wireless Di2 shifting and trail-tough performance come together in the XTR RD-M9260 Rear Derailleur
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I’ve just started riding the M9260 derailleur on my E-MTB and the performance is next-level. It’s smooth, quiet, and shifts flawlessly—even under load. Knowing it pulls straight from my main battery without a backup cell is a bonus for both simplicity and reliability."
Whether we're running a LINKGLIDE 11-speed setup for long-term durability or a HYPERGLIDE+ 12-speed drivetrain for fast, precision shifting, the Shimano XTR RD-M9260 Di2 Rear Derailleur delivers elite E-MTB performance. It brings Shimano’s wireless Di2 shifting to aggressive trail riding with the added confidence of robust construction, intelligent motor protection, and power sourced directly from the e-bike battery—eliminating the need for backups.
The M9260's wide-link design, carbon skid plate, and reinforced pulley cage ensure it handles harsh terrain and high torque with ease. An automatic impact recovery function protects the derailleur mid-ride, while Shimano’s latest stabilizer tech keeps the drivetrain running quiet. For riders seeking seamless performance across pedal strokes, coasting, and descents, the M9260 integrates with Shimano's AUTO SHIFT and FREE SHIFT E-Bike tech for smooth, adaptive control wherever the trail leads.
