Great product
Pros: Durable, High Quality
"This is a great derailleur, however, I don't think it is a great deal better than the XT, however, it's still good value and well worth the money in my opinion."

Drink from the well of perfection
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Rugged, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit
"Smooth and efficient shifting that inspires you to ride harder. One less thing to worry about. After a succession of bikes with lesser derailleurs I finally had one with XTR. I will never go back. Now building a bike for my wife and the choice is simple. Any extra cost of the top of the line range is negligible when compared to how good it performs in all conditions. Never worry about missing gears or bad shifting again."

Typical XTR Performance
"This was bought as an upgrade from an XT rear mech. While there is not a massive difference in performance the XTR mech definitely has a more solid feel, with very solid shifting. So far the jockey wheels are wearing well.
If money is an issue go for XT or Deore, otherwise go with this mech,"

"I bought the short cage version for my FSR stumpy. Works fine but in hindsight I proabably should have bought the stadnard/long cage version."
