Description
Engineered for modern trail demands, the Shimano XTR RD-M9250 Di2 12-Speed Rear Derailleur brings cutting-edge performance and rugged durability to both enduro and XC race setups. Designed around Shimano’s wireless Di2 platform, it delivers crisp, instant shifting via HYPERGLIDE+ technology, eliminating cables and reducing maintenance. The RD-M9250's new wedge-shaped profile offers 23mm of added ground clearance compared to previous generations, improving survivability on rocky terrain while glancing off potential impacts. A wide-link construction, durable carbon cage, skid-plate design, and solid pulley structure contribute to long-term reliability, making it equally suited to aggressive enduro riding and weight-conscious XC racing—especially when paired with a GS Mid Cage with 9-45T cassette or a SGS Long Cage, 10-51T cassette setup.
One of its standout features is Shimano’s Automatic Impact Recovery, a built-in protection function that automatically repositions the derailleur motor after a crash or sudden hit, ensuring uninterrupted performance. The refined SHADOW RD+ ES system stabilizes chain movement for quiet, efficient pedaling over rough terrain, while the rear battery is safely housed in an enclosed compartment for protection and easy removal when charging is needed. Whether you're navigating technical descents or hammering up climbs, the XTR RD-M9250 rear derailleur delivers smooth, consistent shifts and confidence-inspiring toughness, setting a new benchmark for wireless drivetrain performance in demanding off-road conditions.
