The best MTB rear derailleur on the market is now even better! "Shadow" rear derailleurs track closer to the cassette, improving ground and obstacle clearance for enhanced durability.
The Shadow Rear Derailleur exhibits the same precision shifting as all of Shimano's XTR components, but also includes carbon fiber construction for reduced weight. Shimano used direct routing to reduce the chances that you'll snag a cable during your ride. The XTR Shadow Rear Derailleur's low-profile design keeps it from slapping against the chain stay when you're ripping through the chunder, and the strong return spring allows effortless shifting in both directions.

I got sick of destroying new derailleurs because I scaped the cage on rocks. I got the shadow and now I hit a lot less object with it. The shadow saves me money! Get the XT, if your really worried about the weight start with your fridge. Now I'm just waiting for sram to come up with their version. | |

Stop looking at your buddies bike and his shiny new shadow. Just step up to the plate and buy one. They shift reliably on every ride, require very little maint, and stay out of the way. I ride a short cage with 3 rings on a Felt Virtue 2 (5" full). | |

I agree.....just buy one. Best rear derailleur Shimano has put out (the XT shadow is really good too). Durable and mighty sexy looking on your rig. | |
