M971 XTR Rear Derailleur

Now with two options, the all new XTR derailleurs include two options delivering the compatibility you seek. Why two options with complete interchangeability? Because XTR is engineered for the way you ride: The industry standard for derailleur design and gravity racers, Top-Normal rear derailleurs offer crisp, clean, derailleur-controlled shifts to harder gears, allowing excellent shifting under heavy load and acceleration - particularly with RapidFire or RapidFire Plus shifters.
