Shimano RD-M6260 Deore Di2 Wired 12-Speed SGS Rear Derailleur

Shimano’s RD-M6260 Deore Di2 Wired 12-Speed SGS Rear Derailleur delivers reliable, low-maintenance shifting with high durability for e-bike performance. Designed to work seamlessly with Shimano STEPS e-bike systems, it combines precision, strength, and integrated features that reduce wear, improve stability, and optimise drivetrain control in tough terrain.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Wired integration with Shimano STEPS via EW-SD300 cables: Enables precise, consistent shift performance by linking directly with your e-bike system. Results in smooth, automatic control and access to advanced shift functions.
• Auto Shift and Free Shift compatibility: Allows automatic gear selection and shifting without pedalling when used with compatible STEPS systems. Helps maintain optimal cadence and traction.
• Crash recovery mechanism: The derailleur absorbs impacts and returns to position without manual adjustment. Maintains function and reduces the risk of ride-ending mechanical issues.
• Shadow ES low-profile skid plate design: Offers improved ground and obstacle clearance. Minimises the risk of damage from rocks or trail debris.
• Dual spring chain stabiliser: Reduces chain bounce in rough terrain by tightening chain tension. This improves shift precision and prevents dropped chains.
• Zero-maintenance Shadow ES system: Designed to resist wear with no need for periodic tuning. Ensures long-term consistency in shift quality and drivetrain function.
• 70% increased spring force and tighter chain wrap: Boosts chain retention and shifting reliability. Reduces the likelihood of skipping, even with worn cogs.
• 13T solid pulleys with reduced tension in low gears: Maintains efficient chain movement and reduces drivetrain stress. Enhances performance and longevity.
• Robust steel pulley cages and cold-forged alloy links: Provides long-lasting structural strength. Delivers durability under high torque and load.
• Compatible with 12-speed HYPERGLIDE 10-51T cassettes: Supports wide-range gearing setups. Enables smooth shifting across varied terrain.

This derailleur is built for riders who want robust and responsive shifting on e-MTBs. The integration with STEPS allows for features like Auto Shift and Free Shift, while Shadow ES architecture offers chain security and protection with zero-maintenance. Its construction and design prioritise strength, chain control, and reliable performance, even as components wear over time.

Equip your e-bike with drivetrain components that are built for precision, stability, and long-term use in demanding riding conditions.
