Shimano XTR 11 speed rear derailleur - M9000


Shimano XTR rear derailleur 11 speed M9000 medium cage

Quick facts:

  • weighs 225g for this medium cage version;
  • outer cage plate and lower knuckle are made from carbon fiber;
  • bought from Amazon for a bit under $150

Range

Certainly works flawlessly with the Garbaruk 11-48 11 speed cassette and others have reported it working on the 11-50 version as well.  I did not need to fit the Garbaruk supplied cage plates either.
