Shimano XTR Shadow Rear Derailleur RD-M972 GS
A Shadow Derailleur places priority on a low profile design and less body movement
for those enthusiasts that are most at home on extreme technical trails.
In high gear, the derailleur has a profile that is a full 15mm less than a traditional
rear derailleur. That means it barely protrudes more than the quick release skewer
nut. Direct cable routing reduces the chance of the cable snagging on roots and
rocks. Stronger spring keeps the derailleur body more stable in rough terrain.
Redesigned bracket axle keeps the derailleur body from contacting the chainstay.
