Robust Drivetrain Construction
You can’t hurt what you can’t hit—the XTR M9250 rear derailleur with new SHIMANO SHADOW ES technology is stronger than ever and features a low-profile wedge design. The stabilizer unit blends seamlessly into the body of the derailleur, eliminating edges so it glances off trail obstacles and avoids most rock strikes and impacts on the trail. When the inevitable hits do happen, the derailleur absorbs the impact and then Shimano’s automatic impact recovery function instantly returns the derailleur to its original position.
Additionally, the wide link structure, durable carbon plate, skid-plate design, and solid pulley further enhance the derailleur body’s survivability.
Rear Derailleur Technology Features
- Low Profile Design – SHIMANO SHADOW ES technology delivers a wedge-shaped design that reduces the derailleur’s front-facing surface area and eliminates edges that could catch on rocks and roots.
- Automatic Impact Recovery Function – The derailleur absorbs trail impacts and then automatically resets the rear derailleur, ensuring continued performance.
- Super Strong Design – The rear derailleur body boasts a wide, well-braced linkage and solid pulleys to minimize debris entry and ensure durability.
- New Chain Stabilizing Technology – The dual spring design creates higher chain tension for better chain wrap and retention.
- Battery Protection – Tucked safely inside the rear derailleur body, the sealed battery won’t budge even in the roughest terrain but is still easily removed for charging.
- E-MTB Rear Derailleur Option – The wired E-MTB RD-M9260 features a constant power supply from the existing e-bike battery, while utilizing FREE SHIFT technology to seamlessly shift as you coast, and AUTO SHIFT for smooth, automatic gear changes while pedaling.

Intuitive Ergonomic Evolution
Working with Shimano’s Skunk Team of professional testers, engineers refined shift and brake ergonomics with XTR M9200 components.
The brake levers feature Shimano ERGO FLOW technology and have been redesigned to move the pivot point closer to the bar, ensuring the levers follow the natural path of the rider’s finger when pulling the brake. The lever shape has also been refined with a new asymmetrical upswept design that meets your finger at its natural angle, encouraging an aggressive riding position and even weight distribution for better riding control.
The new shifter switch with SHIMANO RAPID ES technology builds on the legacy of Shimano’s mechanical shifter, carrying over key features like the tactile feedback that offers control without requiring riders to change their grip when shifting, a characteristic perfected over generations of mechanical shifting development.
The SHIMANO RAPID ES Di2 switch can be placed in more locations on the bar, while the button functions can be optimized for any riding preference, allowing riders to dial in their setup just the way they like it. The resulting all-new controls fit perfectly in the hand with multi-axis adjustability to maintain hand and body position, allowing you to stay focused on the trail ahead.

Powerful Braking System
One of the most significant changes for XTR comes with an updated braking system that delivers Shimano’s most powerful and most predictable braking control ever.
The new range of XTR brakes offers three unique brake setups: one that prioritizes lightweight construction for XC racing and riding; the second features a refined power application for more aggressive downhills; and a third option that combines key features of both setups for an optimal balance of weight savings, brake modulation, power, and control.
Trail / Enduro Brake Lever Development
When it comes to power and consistency, the BL-M9220 brake lever features a redesigned SERVO WAVE track, which ramps power smoothly but quickly, and is ideal for trail and enduro riders. The new ERGO FLOW lever design ensures consistent rebound speed at any temperature with a reformulated low-viscosity mineral oil that flows consistently through the system in a wider temperature range. The combination of these two ensures stable piston movement within the system, delivering consistent performance and smooth power modulation.
