This is a Shimano XTR derailleur. It is what all others are judged against. It does complain a bit under torque shifts, but that is just the weight tradeoff. Ultra durable for the weight. Not fancy just what it is and works every time.
Pros
- Whats not to like
Cons
- Are no con about this pro
Best Uses
great product for hitting the trails
XTR quality, XTR weight, good value at JensonUSA prices
I have been very happy with this derailleur on my Niner hard tail. Primarily trail riding and have experienced no issues with shifting or chain hoping. I would buy it again.
Pros
- Easy install and set up
- Precise
- Shifts fast
Cons
- None really
Best Uses
- Downhill
- Trail
I've had this for about 3 weeks and I'm extremly impressed. I love it, it shifts fast and is easy to set up and maintain.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

If you're still running 9 speed this one is as good as it gets. Incredible Shimano reliability. Long cage version is great for touring bikes too.
Great derailleur until you start torquing down and mashing pedals uphill in low gear. I will be shifting back to my 06 XTR derailleur and selling this one. Ultimately, I am shifting to a SAINT double ring crankset and short rear derailleur.
