The Shimano XT Linkglide RD-M8130 is an 11-speed rear derailleur with a long SGS cage, offering a 39-tooth total capacity. Designed for Shimano MTB 11-speed Linkglide systems, it features Shadow Plus technology to reduce chain slap and improve stability on all‑mountain and touring e‑bike setups.

The Shimano XT Linkglide RD-M8130 rear derailleur is built for the Deore XT M8100 (Linkglide) series, supporting 11-speed Shimano MTB drivetrains. Its long SGS cage provides a 39-tooth capacity, allowing use with cassettes up to 50 teeth. The Shadow Plus design incorporates a stabilizer that mitigates chain slap and helps prevent chain drop, enhancing control on rough terrain. Constructed from aluminium for both outer and inner cages, the derailleur includes 13-tooth pulleys and is compatible with HG‑X 11-speed chains such as CN‑LG500 and CN‑HG601‑11.
